What I'm looking for

I seek a senior privacy or cybersecurity role where I can lead cross-functional programs, scale data protection, embed privacy-by-design, and use analytics to improve compliance and reduce risk.

I am a dynamic Privacy & Cybersecurity professional with nine years of global experience building and running data protection, information security, and compliance programs across regulated environments. I translate complex regulatory and technical requirements into actionable business strategies that reduce risk and enable growth.

I have led end-to-end privacy and cybersecurity initiatives — mapping data flows for 400+ products, implementing security frameworks, designing AI governance, and delivering privacy training to 500+ staff — producing measurable improvements in compliance, audit readiness, and operational efficiency.

Certified in CIPM and ISO42001, I leverage analytics (Power BI), OneTrust, and cross-functional leadership to embed privacy-by-design, strengthen controls for GDPR/CCPA/CPRA/PIPL and other regimes, and support scalable, auditable programs that align legal, technical and business stakeholders.
