Throughout my career, I have adeptly led cross-functional teams and managed large-scale security projects, fostering a security-first culture across organizations. My expertise in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), cloud security, and advanced threat intelligence has been instrumental in protecting critical assets and maintaining business continuity.
