What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior leadership role (Director / Senior GM) in Cyber Risk, Cloud Security, or Technology Operations.

At IBM India Ltd., I designed and enforced a cloud risk governance framework across IBM Cloud environments and global delivery functions, reducing security incidents enterprise-wide.

I delivered and maintained readiness for SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, HITRUST, ISMAP, ENS, and DORA across the cloud portfolio. I also built IBM's AI risk framework, aligning controls to ISO/IEC 42001 and authoring implementation guidance for external customers.

At Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India (MBRDI), I directed enterprise program governance and global infrastructure and technology operations across multi-vendor environments. My work achieved 100% regulatory compliance on project delivery, and I received the CIO 100 Award for IT governance and risk management practices.

At Wipro Infotech Ltd., I led a 30+ member team managing Cisco's Global Cloud Centre operations. I implemented ITIL governance frameworks and led vulnerability assessment and operational risk control initiatives.
