As a seasoned Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with over 24 years of global experience, I bring a proven ability to lead enterprise-wide cybersecurity and risk management programs that safeguard business continuity, reputation, and growth, regardless of industry.From Telecom and Chemicals to Manufacturing and FMCG, I’ve successfully built and scaled information security strategies that align with boardroom priorities and operational realities. My core strength lies in translating complex security needs into clear, actionable roadmaps enabling organizations to stay resilient, compliant, and competitive in an ever-evolving threat landscape.I’ve led high-performing teams across continents, managed global security transformations, and driven outcomes in areas such as threat intelligence, data privacy, GRC, enterprise risk management, business continuity, and secure cloud and tech migrations. I’ve championed the adoption of modern solutions including Zero Trust Architecture, XDR, SASE, and AI-driven threat analytics to proactively defend against today’s advanced threats.Beyond operations, I focus on maximizing cybersecurity ROI by aligning investments with measurable risk reduction and long-term value. I’m known for bringing transparency to the Board and key stakeholders through clear, risk-based reporting and actionable insights that bridge the gap between technical risk and business impact. I’ve also led ISMS governance during post-M&A integrations and strategic partnerships to strengthen security posture at scale.Certified in CISA, CRiSP, ISO 27001-LI, and ITIL, and holding a Postgraduate Cybersecurity certificate from MIT (Cambridge), I combine deep technical credibility with strategic foresight.Open to leadership opportunities where cybersecurity is recognized as a business enabler, not just a risk mitigator.
