What I'm looking for
I’m an MBCI-certified Senior IT Service Continuity Manager and Principal Operational Resilience Lead with 25+ years delivering enterprise-wide ITSCM, Disaster Recovery, and regulatory-aligned resilience programmes across financial services, aviation, education, hospitality, and Managed Service environments. Recognised as a Member of the Business Continuity Institute (MBCI), I translate complex regulatory requirements like DORA, BaFin, MaRisk, ISO 22301, and ISO 27031 into practical, auditable, business-aligned recovery and restore capabilities.
At Berenberg Private Bank, I led the end-to-end design and implementation of a DORA-aligned ITSCM framework in partnership with KPMG, achieving full (100%) regulatory readiness ahead of the January 2025 deadline. I delivered measurable outcomes including 40% improvement of Recovery Time actual (RTA) and complete elimination of audit findings, while building governance through BIA-driven insights, scenario-based functional testing, and executive-level reporting that strengthens board-level decision-making.
