What I'm looking for
At Primera Medical Technologies, I lead the Cyber Threat Intelligence function for a global healthcare technology organization, advancing intelligence-led security operations, cyber risk reduction, and proactive defense.
I turn emerging threats into actionable guidance for executives and technical teams while leading threat hunting, attack surface management, vulnerability analysis, threat modelling, and incident-response improvements across enterprise environments.
Previously, I led the SOC and IPS functions supporting Primera and AXA Technologies, improving monitoring, investigations, reporting, analyst capability, and coordination between security operations and threat intelligence.
Across 18+ years in healthcare, financial services, retail, and government environments, I've worked with organizations including TCS, ITC Infotech, AXA, Target Corporation, and the National Informatics Centre. I also drive AI-enabled security research, workflow automation, and operational transformation.
