What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in IT security and compliance.

As an IT and cybersecurity leader with over 12 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of transforming and securing some of the most complex and high-stakes environments. My journey has taken me through roles that demanded a blend of risk management, operational planning, and empathic leadership—skills that have sharpened my ability to think critically and act decisively under pressure. My passion lies in aligning innovative technology solutions with business objectives to drive operational efficiency, enhance security, and lead teams to success. With expertise in cybersecurity, systems administration, data-driven process innovation, and vendor management, I’m committed to creating secure, collaborative environments where organizations and their people can thrive.

Outside of work, I’m someone who’s always eager to explore new ideas and experiences. Whether diving into the depths of philosophy, experimenting with music, or keeping up with the latest tech trends, I believe in the power of curiosity and continuous learning. I strive to bring this same enthusiasm to my professional life, fostering connections that are both meaningful and inspiring. I’m always open to engaging conversations, and I’m passionate about making a positive impact, both in my work and in the world at large.
