What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in cybersecurity that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration.

I am a strategic and results-driven cybersecurity professional with over 4.5 years of experience leading and executing diverse cybersecurity initiatives across multiple regions, including Mauritius, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. My expertise lies in cybersecurity strategy, regulatory compliance, and team leadership, where I have consistently delivered measurable improvements in security posture for organizations in various industries such as smart cities, banking, healthcare, and oil & gas.

Currently, as a Senior Digital Risk Consultant at Mobius Consulting, I spearhead cross-functional teams to execute complex cybersecurity engagements, enhancing organizational security maturity through tailored strategies and assessments. My role involves providing CISO as a Service, overseeing ISO 27001 implementation, and conducting incident response simulations, all while fostering a culture of excellence within my team. I am passionate about driving business development and expanding client engagements, ensuring that our cybersecurity solutions are both innovative and effective.
