Drew Breyer

I architect security-minded enterprise systems for Fortune 50 financial institutions — and translate them into decisions executives can act on.

12+ years across cybersecurity, enterprise CRM, and applied AI in regulated environments. M.S. in Cybersecurity from UT Dallas. Microsoft Innovation Award winner. Trained presenter who is comfortable in front of an executive audience.

What I Do

The throughline across every engagement: complex systems, regulated constraints, and the ability to keep both the technology and the room steady.

Cybersecurity & Risk

M.S. in Cybersecurity (UT Dallas) plus Security+. Threat-aware architecture, least-privilege controls, and governance that survives audit and incident.

Solution Engineering

Architecture, integration, and stakeholder alignment for enterprise programs spanning Sales, Service, Marketing, and downstream systems. Built to be adopted, not just shipped.

Applied AI

AI workflows built around real constraints: data access, auditability, and measurable outcomes. MCP-style patterns that connect conversational tools to live enterprise data without sacrificing governance.

Executive Communication

Years presenting to C-level audiences in financial services. Trained in narrative structure, calm delivery, and translating technical risk into decisions executives can actually make.

Selected Work

Engagements I can speak to in depth. Specifics are deliberately abstracted; happy to go deeper in conversation.

Fortune 50 Capital Markets

Led architecture and stakeholder alignment for a customer-facing platform unifying CRM, identity, analytics, and downstream services under strict regulatory and security requirements.
