From the Shop Floor to the Boardroom: A CISO's Journey
My path to the C-suite wasn't conventional. I cut my teeth in the trenches, securing manufacturing plants and critical infrastructure, earning my scars alongside engineers and technicians. That hands-on foundation, combined with my later leadership at global enterprises, shaped my approach to cybersecurity: pragmatic, risk-focused, and always aligned with the heartbeat of the business.
Transformation, Not Just Tech
With 15+ years under my belt, I've championed major security overhauls at some of the world's most complex organizations. But my proudest achievements go beyond firewalls and policies. I've built high-performing teams fueled by mentorship and a culture of empowerment. I've partnered with C-suite executives to embed security into every business fabric, earning trust through straight talk and relentless focus on mitigating the risks that truly matter.
Compliance is a Baseline
ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR... these are table stakes for me. I've ensured compliance across multiple industries – finance, automotive, manufacturing – while focusing on the essence of those frameworks: safeguarding data and empowering the company with secure innovation.
The World is My Lab
My work has taken me across the globe. It's shaped my understanding of both security threats and the importance of localizing solutions to be truly effective. Whether it was revamping an incentive program in Switzerland or negotiating SLAs to protect a multinational's supply chain, I bring a seasoned global perspective and an instinct for building bridges.
