About

As a seasoned AI Project Manager with over 11 years of experience, I specialize in driving projects that blend AI, cybersecurity, and IT solutions within both Agile and Waterfall environments. My passion lies in delivering innovative, secure, and scalable solutions that not only meet customer needs but consistently exceed expectations. Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with cross-functional teams, serving as both Scrum Master and Product Owner, to ensure seamless execution of initiatives. My expertise spans defining and prioritizing IT security product features, maintaining product backlogs, shaping user stories, and leading sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives. By aligning business goals with technical execution, I foster collaboration and transparency, ensuring every project achieves measurable outcomes. I hold a diverse set of globally recognized certifications, including PMI-PMP, PMI-ACP, Agile Scrum Master, CISA (ISACA Controls & Assurance), ISO 27001:2022 Lead Auditor, PCI DSS v4.0.1, NIST LI, and GDPR LI. These credentials underscore my commitment to continuous learning and staying ahead of evolving industry standards. My mission is to leverage my project leadership, technical expertise, and passion for AI in cybersecurity to elevate team productivity, enhance client satisfaction, and strengthen product quality. I thrive in complex, fast-paced environments where strategy, innovation, and security intersect—and I’m always open to meaningful collaborations that push boundaries in the digital space.
