At the European External Action Service (EEAS), I took on the challenge of protecting the EU's diplomatic missions worldwide. As Strategy Manager for Security Risk Management, I oversaw the security framework that safeguarded EU diplomatic operations across more than 140 delegations globally.I led the modernization of our Security Risk Management System, aligning it with ISO 31000 standards while making it practical for diplomatic operations. A key achievement was driving digital transformation - leading the development of web and mobile applications that brought security management into the digital age, enabling real-time risk assessment and response across our global network.Working with diplomatic staff from diverse backgrounds, I developed and delivered security risk management training programs that bridged cultural and operational gaps. This included creating innovative e-learning solutions that made complex security concepts accessible to diplomatic personnel worldwide.Throughout my tenure, I remained at the forefront of IT security standards, regularly participating in ISO 27001 and BSI-Grundschutz training to ensure our diplomatic security measures met the highest international standards. This continuous learning approach helped transform the EEAS's security culture from traditional diplomatic protection to a comprehensive, modern security framework.

As Head of Security & Safety at Action Against Hunger in Iraq, I led security operations protecting 200 humanitarian workers delivering critical aid across one of the world's most complex environments.I modernized our security approach by introducing digital solutions that streamlined risk assessment and incident reporting - a significant shift from traditional paper-based systems. This digital transformation allowed our teams to respond faster to security incidents while maintaining focus on their crucial humanitarian work.Working directly with country and headquarters management, I provided strategic guidance that balanced humanitarian access with staff safety. During a period of regional tensions, my risk assessments and security protocols enabled our teams to continue vital nutrition programs while ensuring staff security.This role taught me that effective security in humanitarian contexts isn't just about protection - it's about enabling aid workers to safely reach those in need.

As Security Risk Manager at the European External Action Service in Brussels, I shaped the physical and information security landscape of key EU diplomatic facilities.I oversaw the security architecture for multiple EU office buildings, balancing the need for diplomacy's open nature with robust protection measures. This included modernizing access control systems and implementing security protocols that maintained the delicate balance between accessibility and security.Working closely with various EU departments, I developed a comprehensive Security Risk Management System. This wasn't just about creating procedures - it meant establishing frameworks that worked within the unique diplomatic environment where both physical and information security threats converge.A key focus was crafting information security policies that protected sensitive diplomatic communications while enabling the essential work of EU diplomacy. These policies needed to work across different cultural contexts and align with both EU standards and international best practices.
