What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead security, GRC, privacy, compliance, and resilience functions where I can align cyber risk, regulatory readiness, and commercial growth while partnering with C-suite and board stakeholders.

At Enigmatic Smile, I own enterprise security strategy, governance, cyber risk, IT Operations, GRC, Legal & Data Privacy, and Compliance. I maintain two PCI-DSS Level 1 certifications while driving readiness for ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 2, GDPR, DORA, and AI governance.

Previously, I led security governance across five regions at Euroconsumers Group and launched its DORA compliance programme. At Fidel API, I built a greenfield GRC framework and led PCI-DSS certification with VISA, Mastercard, AMEX, and Qualified Security Assessors.

Across Cloudflare, Siemens, Majorel, BNP Paribas, Solvay, and Thyssenkrupp, I've delivered security governance, business continuity, third-party assurance, GDPR programmes, ISMS certifications, incident governance, and cybersecurity assessments in global regulated environments.
