What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership security role where I can apply AI-driven surveillance, risk mitigation, and cross-functional management to strengthen operations and drive measurable security outcomes.

I am a security and administration management professional with over 18 years of experience across corporate and defense environments, focused on aligning security protocols with business objectives and operational realities.

I have led large teams and complex operations—managing 100+ security staff, overseeing multi-site programs, and directing security and logistics for 800+ personnel in the Indian Army—while driving measurable performance improvements.

My achievements include implementing AI-based threat detection, reducing vendor costs through KPI-driven contract optimization, digitizing processes to shorten vehicle turnaround, and securing high-visibility events with zero incidents.

I emphasize risk assessment, incident investigation, stakeholder engagement, and training development to build resilient security programs that ensure compliance and operational continuity.
