Summary

Principal Information Security & GRC Leader with 15 years of international experience helping organisations design, stabilise, and run effective security, governance, and resilience programmes in regulated and technology-driven environments.

I work closely with executive teams, often at Head-of-GRC scope, to establish clear governance models and security frameworks when permanent leadership capacity is evolving or constrained. My focus is on bridging executive intent with operational reality and turning regulatory pressure into security outcomes the business can sustainably operate.

My work centres on building ISO-based management systems (ISMS, BCM) alongside NIST-aligned risk and control frameworks (RMF, CSF), integrating cyber risk, resilience, and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) into a coherent governance ecosystem. I have hands-on experience delivering against current EU regulatory obligations, particularly NIS2 and DORA, and supporting organisations with Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) readiness for digital supply-chain and product-security risk.
