About

I am driven by the quote "Know Thyself" by Socrates, and I am highly optimistic and ambitious, with a great affinity towards spirituality. I aim to make a strong impact in the industry by delivering exceptional expertise and value to my clients and stakeholders. As an Infosec and GRC professional, I apply my 12+ years of experience and multiple certifications in data privacy, information security, and compliance to help the organisation achieve its mission of building a highly secure and compliant platform/ solution for its consumers. I develop and implement enterprise-wide data protection and security strategies, ensure global compliance with complex standards and regulations, and plan and execute nimble strategic change management roadmaps. My specialisation includes information and cyber security, strategy, risk consulting and transformation, application security, IT security transformation and privacy implementation, cloud security governance, and more. I have also contributed to various aspects of business development, such as developing IS RFIs, RFPs, and pre-sales.
