I build scalable third-party risk and cybersecurity compliance programs that improve audit readiness and vendor security.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm building the risk management vertical at Arbex, a joint venture of KC and Suzano, after leading Kimberly-Clark's global Third-Party Risk Management program. I conducted 100+ vendor risk assessments annually, automated cybersecurity workflows to cut turnaround time by 25%, and built a unified vendor risk scoring platform across regions.
At KPMG, Deloitte, and HCL Technologies, I've delivered IT audits, SOC2 Type II audits, ITGC testing, risk assessments, and compliance reporting across banking, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, IT services, and product-based organizations. My work has improved audit readiness by 20%, reduced non-compliance issues by 18%, and reduced compliance gaps by 22%.
I bring a business-first approach to cybersecurity, partnering with legal, risk, leadership, auditors, and global stakeholders to turn security requirements into practical outcomes.
