What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, focusing on cybersecurity leadership and strategic initiatives.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Director with a proven track record of building and enhancing Identity Access Management (IAM) programs from the ground up. My passion for innovation drives me to optimize IT investments and improve customer retention while reducing corporate liability. I have successfully led diverse teams and implemented strategic solutions that enhance security and operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, ensuring that security initiatives align with business objectives. My leadership at Fresenius Medical Care resulted in a 275% increase in IAM team size and the implementation of a password-less solution that significantly reduced manual logins. I am recognized as an organizational thought leader and a subject matter expert in cybersecurity, committed to fostering a culture of trust and integrity.
