Cybersecurity leader at PwC leading global Certificate Management and modernising enterprise PKI with an EJBCA-based platform.

Message

At PwC Australia, I lead the global Certificate Management service and APAC Enterprise Identity Operations. I oversee service strategy, governance and operations for critical security services, including identity operations across APAC.

I’m leading enterprise PKI modernisation, including migration from legacy Microsoft ADCS certificate authorities to an EJBCA-based platform. My work also includes certificate lifecycle governance, renewal automation and cryptographic-readiness activities.

Previously at PwC Australia, I led APAC Enterprise Logging & Monitoring, including globally distributed Splunk operations and the regional deployment of PwC's global Splunk platform. Earlier, at Deloitte Australia, I designed and deployed Sydney Cyber Intelligence Centre infrastructure, including ArcSight SIEM, AWS cloud infrastructure and Qualys vulnerability-management capabilities.
