About

As a CISO in fintech and crypto, I’ve built and led security programs that safeguard billions in digital assets while meeting the strictest regulatory standards (MiCAR, DORA, MaRisk). With 20+ years across banking, e-commerce, telecom, and fintech, I’ve reduced critical platform risks, driven regulator-approved frameworks, and scaled SOC, cloud, and custody defenses that enable growth without compromise.
