View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
Passionate about Digital Security and expansive business-focused technology My main mission is to provide effective solutions and responses to the Senior Management Committee and Advisors to protect and enhance the business. To achieve this, I employ Digital Security and Cybersecurity Strategies. These not only protect assets but also provide a return on investment by preventing and avoiding costly incidents and regulatory penalties. I have over 20 years of experience working in large companies (BANKINTER, TELEFÓNICA, ING BANK) creating and leading management teams. In recent years, I have also taken on the role of Cybersecurity Advisor, which excites and challenges me because I can share my vision and experience. Speaker at major industry events (RootedCon, ISMS FORUM, CSA), professor of Cybersecurity at some of the best companies in Spain (IE, UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE, EDEM, IBERIA, UNIDAD EDITORIAL). Within the Bankinter Group, I am responsible for the area of Digital Security and Cybersecurity across all business units and geographies where we have economic activity: Bankinter Luxembourg, Bankinter Portugal, Bankinter Ireland, and Evo Banco. In summary, I lead the Digital Security Strategy and Team with the aim of not only focusing on protection but also driving the business by ensuring a secure and trustworthy environment for our employees and clients.
