By fostering collaboration across global teams and aligning cybersecurity with business objectives, I mitigate risks and supply chain vulnerabilities, ensuring operational continuity. I am passionate about building cyber-resilient cultures, driving regulatory compliance (NIS2, CERT, CEA, GDPR ), and mentoring high-performing teams. My strategic vision and hands-on expertise enable organizations to navigate complex threat landscapes while advancing sustainability goals. Elevating cybersecurity posture and contribute to a secure, renewable energy future.
