What I'm looking for

I am looking for a long-term role that allows me to grow and leverage my expertise in regulatory compliance and data protection.

I am a seasoned professional with extensive experience across public, private, and financial sectors, focusing on regulatory compliance, data protection, and information security. My career has been marked by a commitment to structured problem-solving and effective communication, enabling me to thrive in both independent and team environments. I have successfully advised clients on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) strategies, translating complex regulations into actionable policies that enhance compliance.

In my current role as a Senior Information Security Consultant at HiQ AB, I lead initiatives that involve conducting data privacy impact assessments and collaborating with cross-functional teams to align security strategies with business objectives. My leadership experience extends to managing data protection teams, where I prioritize tasks, support team members, and ensure timely delivery of projects. I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance and security within organizations, and I continuously seek opportunities to grow and contribute my expertise in a long-term role.
