## About

```text
At Old Mutual, I lead cybersecurity governance and risk initiatives across business segments, aligning security priorities with organisational risk appetite, regulatory obligations and enterprise security strategy.

I led implementation of the CyberWorld Information Security Metrics Dashboard, improving business-unit visibility of security posture, risk trends and remediation progress. I also coordinate penetration testing and Red Team exercises, tracking findings through remediation.

As Cloud Security Officer at Old Mutual, I configured AWS detective controls and implemented preventative guardrails. I also coordinated Cloud Security Posture Management onboarding across AWS and Azure, including Prisma Cloud operationalisation.

At Deloitte, I planned and executed vulnerability assessments and conducted web application, wireless, VPN and secure-configuration assessments. I prepared reports with business impacts and prioritised remediation recommendations. I hold CISSP and cloud security certifications, and have a BSc Eng in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
