If your organization is scaling, seeking compliance, preparing for due diligence, or expanding into new markets — I help ensure you do it securely and confidently.

I’m a cybersecurity and risk executive with 15+ years leading enterprise security strategy, governance, and global compliance across BFSI, Healthcare, SaaS, FinTech, and regulated industries.

My work focuses on building secure, scalable, audit-ready environments that reduce exposure, accelerate regulatory readiness, and enable business growth — not slow it down.

I operate at the intersection of cyber risk, executive decision-making, cloud architecture, and business strategy. Whether it’s reducing enterprise risk by 40–70%, achieving 100% audit success across ISO/SOC/GDPR/DORA/HIPAA/PCI-DSS, or strengthening supply-chain security across 50+ vendors, I drive results that matter at board level.

As CISO, I translate cybersecurity into business outcomes — risk appetite, revenue protection, M&A readiness, customer trust, and resilience. I work directly with CEOs, CTOs, COOs, and boards to make cyber risk understandable, measurable, and actionable.

My experience spans building and maturing cybersecurity programs for multi-entity global organizations, modernizing cloud and hybrid architecture, and leading security transformations across Azure, AWS, and complex hybrid environments.

Core Strengths:
➡️ Cybersecurity Strategy & Risk Governance
➡️ Global Compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, DORA, PCI-DSS)
➡️ Cloud Security Architecture (Azure, AWS, Hybrid)
➡️ Enterprise Risk Ownership & Board Reporting
➡️ Security Budgeting, Cost Optimization & ROI
➡️ Vendor/Supply Chain Security Leadership
➡️Incident Readiness, IR Playbooks & Executive Tabletop Exercises
➡️ Business Continuity, DR & Organizational Resilience

I believe a modern CISO isn’t just a security leader — they’re a business enabler, risk strategist, and resilience architect. My goal is simple: build security programs that executives trust, auditors respect, and customers rely on.
