I'm a cybersecurity leader with nearly a decade of proven success driving enterprise-wide digital security transformations across both IT and OT ecosystems. My expertise lies in leading high-impact cybersecurity operations, architecting secure infrastructures, and aligning governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) with organizational goals. Currently serving as Cluster Head Cybersecurity at Andritz Hydro, I oversee a global team of 24 cybersecurity professionals, responsible for protecting mission-critical assets in a GITSOS (Global IT & OT Security Operations Services) framework. I spearhead the design and deployment of end-to-end, risk-based security programs—leveraging platforms such as Darktrace, ExtraHop, Splunk, and CrowdStrike to elevate threat detection, response, and incident reduction as an individual contributor along with the team. My background includes: Certified CISSP, CEH, CCNA – combining technical depth with strategic vision. Proven track record in SIEM, cloud security (Azure), industrial cybersecurity, and vulnerability management. Successfully implemented a bug bounty program, optimized detection workflows, and reduced security incidents by 22% across the organization. Hands-on experience securing mergers & acquisitions, ensuring business continuity and cyber resilience through transitional risk governance. Where I make an impact - I excel at uniting security leadership with business enablement, embedding cybersecurity as a core business function not just a compliance checkbox. Driving scalable security innovation and fostering cross-functional collaboration, taking business goals in vision. I’m actively exploring global leadership roles in cybersecurity strategy, consulting, or product security.
