With over 16 years of experience in technology (primarily focussed on IT Risk and Cybersecurity), I have built a diverse skill set and expertise in number of domains like Technology Risk Management, Cybersecurity Transformation, Cybersecurity Operations, and Regulatory Compliance. My experience includes design, uplift, assessment, and implementation of technology controls at an organisational level. I have hands-on experience of managing diverse, geographically dispersed teams to successfully deliver large scale initiatives. I deeply care about the people I work with and supporting them in their growth is important for me.I also have practical experience of leading cybersecurity engagements related to Mergers and Acquisitions. This includes leading pre-deal cyber due diligence, as well as the planning and execution of complex carve-out and integration programmes.My background as a software developer has kept me empathetic and committed to the development principles like Agility, Collaboration or Secure from Start as I believe these are critical for scalability and sustainability in current ways of working. I firmly believe that IT Risk function should closely work with Technology Development function to ensure IT risks are effectively managed without compromising the efficiency and functionality. I am particularly passionate about fostering data-driven systems that help business leaders make informed decisions at pace, to build and run safe, resilient and secure IT systems.Domains of my expertise include : Technology Risk Management, Cybersecurity Transformation, Cyber Regulations (e.g. NIS-R, NIS2, DORA, TSA), Cybersecurity Frameworks (e.g. NIST, ISO, CAF), Cybersecurity Strategy and Operating Model, Cyber in M&A, Third-Party Management, Exec Reporting and Presentation, Agile Methodology, People and Program Management.
