Profile

Who I am

Cybersecurity leader with 15+ years across enterprise and highly regulated environments — combining executive security strategy with hands-on architecture.

Experienced in standing up and running security programmes — owning enterprise risk, ISO 27001 / NIST CSF-aligned governance, regulatory compliance, and multi-vendor / MSSP oversight. Proven delivery across cloud (AWS, Azure, hybrid), Zero Trust, identity, and detection & response for government, healthcare, financial-services, and critical-infrastructure-adjacent clients across Asia-Pacific and India.

Governance at the board

Security operating models and governance frameworks — policy, risk registers, control baselines and audit readiness — for organisations that need CISO-level leadership.

Automation at pace

AI-powered security accelerators and multi-agent workflows that compress cloud assessments and posture hardening from months to days — enterprise assurance at lower cost.
