Pioneering Cyber Excellence | Business-Aligned, Board-Ready Cybersecurity Leader With 24+ years of deep, cross-sector experience, I bring a rare blend of cybersecurity leadership, global scale execution, and business-centric thinking—equipping enterprises to navigate the evolving threat landscape with clarity and confidence. I’ve had the privilege of leading large-scale cybersecurity initiatives at Accenture, Capgemini, FIS, and HSBC, across domains like BFSI, technology, telecom, and manufacturing. At Accenture, I was responsible for securing 1,300+ active client engagements with an India delivery headcount exceeding 100,000—driving consistent cyber maturity, compliance, and delivery assurance at scale. At FIS, I played the role of vCISO for 8 leading banks, managing their end-to-end cybersecurity posture—aligning with RBI regulations, client expectations, and business-critical SLAs across a multi-tenant environment. What sets me apart is my ability to balance board-level strategy with hands-on execution. My focus has always been to position cybersecurity as a business enabler, not just a compliance function—ensuring risk-managed innovation, operational continuity, and stakeholder trust. I’ve been invited by regulators like IRDAI and IFSCA to contribute to national cybersecurity and data protection frameworks. As a thought leader and speaker, I’ve presented at GISEC, DSCI FINSEC, and various industry forums. I'm also a passionate mentor, committed to developing future-ready cyber talent. My areas of expertise include: ✔ Crafting and executing business-aligned cybersecurity strategies that enable growth while managing risk across global enterprises ✔ Driving tech-enabled transformation through practical Zero Trust adoption, secure-by-design thinking, and resilient cloud and app security architectures ✔ Navigating complex data protection landscapes (GDPR, DPDP, RBI) with confidence—turning compliance into competitive advantage ✔ Building cyber capabilities at scale—from Cyber GCCs to client-specific, air-gapped ODCs that deliver security as a business service ✔ Boardroom Communication | Regulatory Interface | RFP/RFI Due Diligence Whether it’s building globally aligned security programs, navigating regulatory mandates, or embedding cyber into transformation, I operate at the intersection of technology, trust, and business outcomes.
