What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cybersecurity governance, ISO 27001, audit, and regulatory compliance programs where I can strengthen risk posture, operational resilience, and collaboration between technical teams, leadership, and regulators.

I've led cybersecurity governance, ISO 27001 implementation, and regulatory compliance programs for KING ICT, G+D Netcetera, BSH Hausgeräte, and Komercijalna Banka.

At G+D Netcetera, I led organization-wide ISO 27001 implementation, certification, and maintenance, and managed PCI DSS, 3D Secure, and ISAE 3402 engagements with internal teams and external auditors.

I build practical assurance functions, from ISMS internal audit charters and risk-based audit plans to third-party management and customer-facing Trust Centers that streamline security due diligence.

Across more than 25 years in banking, fintech, public institutions, and manufacturing, I've combined IT audit, data analytics, fraud detection, application security testing, and resilience-focused frameworks including DORA and NIS2.
