What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity compliance and legal advisory.

I am a highly motivated and adaptable Legal and Compliance professional with a growing niche in Cybersecurity Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC). My experience includes working with various frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST, where I have successfully aligned legal expertise with cybersecurity objectives to minimize risk and enhance organizational resilience. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality results, particularly in the fintech and real estate sectors.

In my current role as Head of Legal and Compliance at Moneta Technology, I lead the legal unit, ensuring compliance with NDPR and other regulations. I have successfully negotiated over 150 high-value contracts, reducing legal exposure significantly. My collaborative approach has led to a 25% decrease in internal vulnerabilities through effective risk assessments and training programs. I am passionate about driving compliance outcomes and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness within organizations.
