As the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Groupe Robert, I lead cybersecurity strategy, risk management, and IT architecture to protect critical business assets and drive operational resilience. I collaborate with leadership to align security programs with business objectives, balancing innovation, compliance, and risk mitigation.With over 10 years of experience in IT risk management and over 5 years in cybersecurity, I have developed expertise across key areas, including:• Identity & Access Management (IAM)• Data Protection & Cloud Security• Network & Endpoint Security• Threat Intelligence, Detection & Incident Response• Vulnerability & Risk Management• Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)• Artificial Intelligence Security & Ethical Compliance• Strategic Advisory & ConsultingPreviously, as Director Consulting Expert, Cybersecurity at CGI, I advised clients on aligning security strategies with business needs, delivering tailored solutions that improved resilience and risk posture.In my spare time, I invest in real estate, focusing on renovating and flipping properties for sale or rental, applying the same analytical and strategic mindset I use in cybersecurity. I also invest in startups, particularly those that align with my passion for innovation and creating value from the ground up. Outside of my work, I strive to empower marginalized and emerging groups. I believe that by channeling the power of collaboration, we are able to better overcome the cultural and systemic hurdles and reach higher echelons of the corporate and societal world.I find that knowing your 'WHY' is an essential component to sticking to your goals and objectives for the long-haul; and my 'why' has always been pretty straightforward: developing and establishing authentic connections.I actively seek out uncomfortable and challenging initiatives to learn and in turn, develop as a person. I am obsessed with the art of the start and I love being part of creating something from nothing. Whether that is scaling up a product/service, or the spark of a new idea. I am passionate about the magic of possibility.
