What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead cross-functional cybersecurity and compliance programs, drive certification readiness, mentor teams, and embed risk-based practices in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a Senior GRC and Technical Cybersecurity Manager with over nine years of global experience aligning organizations with SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIS 2, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR and OT/IT security frameworks.

I have led EU-wide compliance programs, built and maintained ISMS, and supported audit and certification readiness for multinational environments, delivering measurable improvements in security posture and business continuity.

I bridge technical and business priorities by managing cross-functional teams, vendor risk, incident management, and security awareness initiatives, while translating regulatory requirements into actionable roadmaps and controls.

My work has been commended by clients including Alfa Laval and Tetra Pak for structured, proactive program delivery and by Pulsar Security for high-quality technical documentation.
