What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in cybersecurity.

With 3.5 years of technical expertise, I have excelled in IT General Controls Testing, Compliance Audits, and Risk Assessments. My journey began at eClerx, where I quickly progressed from Junior Analyst to Analyst, managing a team of 14-16 members. My MBA in IT, specializing in Information Security, equips me to lead innovative solutions.

Currently, as an Associate Consultant at EXL Service, I lead internal audit engagements for global organizations, ensuring compliance with financial and IT controls. I am passionate about fostering collaboration among stakeholders and delivering actionable insights that drive impactful outcomes in cybersecurity.
