View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I chose to specialise in information and cybersecurity with a strong focus on systems, networks, and organisational risk management. Over time, I developed strong analytical and synthesis skills as well as the ability to collaborate effectively in diverse, cross‑functional teams. My early internships and technical roles provided a solid foundation in network operations, security monitoring and automation, shaping the technical mindset that continues to guide me today. As my career progressed, I moved into consulting, governance and project‑driven roles within major financial institutions, where I deepened my expertise in risk analysis, regulatory compliance, security governance, and the management of large‑scale cybersecurity programs. These experiences strengthened my strategic vision and my ability to support complex transformation initiatives. This progression ultimately led me to senior leadership roles—including, today, the position of CISO—where I define cybersecurity strategy, steer organisational transformation, and partner with executive leadership to embed security into digital, data and business innovation.
