What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my leadership skills and allows me to drive strategic innovation in IT operations, with a focus on cybersecurity and compliance.

I am a hands-on IT Executive with over 20 years of experience in high-scale, high-risk environments, particularly in iGaming and online casino platforms. My career has been marked by a proven success in leading infrastructure and cybersecurity initiatives, achieving ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance, and embedding secure development practices. I pride myself on being a pragmatic leader with a strong technical foundation, capable of designing and executing security roadmaps from the ground up.

Currently, I serve as the Senior Vice President of IT Operations and Security at Strive Gaming, where I have designed and managed IT infrastructure to ensure 24/7 availability and scalability. My role involves leading cybersecurity strategies, incident response, and vulnerability management across a high-volume iGaming platform. I have collaborated with compliance and legal teams to secure essential certifications, built a dedicated application support team, and embedded secure SDLC practices across engineering teams, ensuring robust security postures under strict regulatory frameworks.
