At Scotiabank, I lead cybersecurity risk and control assurance across AI and cloud environments, data centres, networks, applications, and digital transformation. I advise senior management on material risks and remediation priorities, and steered a team of five cybersecurity professionals.

I piloted a three-year cybersecurity assessment plan across 64 jurisdictions, reaching 86% coverage. I also helped create a Power BI dashboard for NIST CSF adherence and review coverage, achieving full coverage of high-risk areas.

At Torstar Corporation, I led cybersecurity and IT compliance, including security requirements for a multi-cloud migration across AWS and Azure. The migration onboarded more than 1,000 assets and reduced the cybersecurity exposure index by 65%; audits also resulted in zero material weaknesses for five consecutive years.

Earlier, I held cybersecurity, IT risk, and compliance roles at Torstar Corporation and Coca-Cola Hellenic. My work included SAP implementation transformation streams, IT control frameworks, third-party risk management, and incident response. I hold certifications including CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, and CDPSE.
