What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters collaboration and innovation in cybersecurity.

I am an Information Security Manager with extensive experience in global governance, risk, and compliance. My current role at TÜV Rheinland Service GmbH involves leading the transition to ISO 27001:2022 and managing customer relationships across international teams. I have a strong background in implementing information security management systems and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Previously, I served as CISO at HEAD acoustics GmbH, where I restructured the IT infrastructure and developed stakeholder management strategies. My work at TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH focused on consulting for product security and leading projects in Smart Metering, showcasing my ability to manage complex projects and collaborate with diverse teams. I hold a Master’s degree in Geography with a focus on Energy Economics and Transportation Sciences, which complements my technical expertise.
