About The Dovia Brief
I’ve spent 15+ years in the rooms where enterprise identity programs actually get built: making the technical calls, leading the programs, and navigating the harder conversations that come with them.
I’m the founder of Tech Dovia, an IAM and PAM consultancy working across financial services, healthcare, hospitality, and other global industries.
The Dovia Brief is where I write about what that work actually looks like when you get past the frameworks, diagrams, and polished case studies.
I write about:
Field notes: Real situations from enterprise identity work, including the messy ones that don’t make it into a case study.
Program and project management: How identity programs actually get scoped, sequenced, unstuck, and delivered.
The relationship layer: Stakeholder politics, trust, vendor dynamics, and the human side of getting security work done.
IAM/PAM concepts: What the frameworks and controls mean when you have to apply them to an actual environment.
Career and certifications: PMP, CISSP, and CSM concepts through the lens of doing the work, not just passing an exam.
This isn’t theory from the sidelines. It’s what 15+ years of running these programs, and, yes, getting some things wrong along the way, has taught me.
New issues land most Wednesdays.
If you work in identity, security, or program leadership and want the version of this work that rarely makes it into the polished case study, you’re in the right place.
