@ramasahu
Global IT & Cybersecurity leader driving AI-powered digital transformation and compliant delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven IT and cybersecurity leader with 11 years delivering multimillion-dollar digital transformation programs across BFSI, healthcare, telecom, and manufacturing. I combine strategic leadership with hands-on delivery in product, program, and service management.
I have led architecture governance (TOGAF, ArchiMate), audit-ready compliance (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST), and global Agile/SAFe transformations, improving velocity and reducing compliance gaps. I stewarded governance boards and executive stakeholder engagement for high-stakes programs.
My technical breadth includes cloud-native security, AI/ML product strategy, SIEM/SOAR operations, DevSecOps practices, and automation across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I have driven measurable outcomes: incident resolution improvements, compliance remediation, and increased adoption through MVP-driven roadmaps.
I am available immediately and open to remote or onsite roles worldwide, including sponsorship and relocation. I also offer advisory, training, and pro-bono consulting to help organisations prioritise portfolios, realise benefits, and future-proof transformation efforts.
