As a CxO Advisor for digital resilience and cyber defense, my mission is to strengthen digital environments against evolving cyber threats, ensuring businesses stay breach-ready and resilient while embracing digital transformation. With over 30 years of expertise in cybersecurity, privacy, risk optimization, and crisis management, I champion zero-trust principles across diverse environments, including on-premises, cloud, and OT/ICS systems. In my previous CISO roles, I safeguarded digital transformation efforts by enhancing cyber defense capabilities, leveraging my experience in cyber defense, standards development, and change management. This approach balanced economic benefits with cyber risks, streamlining operations. Additionally, I actively contribute to industry forums and standards bodies like ISO, BCI, and CSA as a subject matter expert, shaping cybersecurity's future and advocating for a more secure digital world.
