I’m a Principal Cybersecurity Architect and Security Leader with 20+ years of hands-on experience across cybersecurity, cloud security, application security, GRC, DevSecOps, IAM, security architecture, and security operations. I’ve worked across organizations including Ab InBev, Lowe’s, Accenture, TCS, Sonata Software, Netcracker, H&M, and Jeppesen ForeFlight, working on security programs, architecture, governance, risk, compliance, application security, cloud environments, and security culture. I hold CISSP, CCSP, CISM, CISA, OSCP and other industry certifications, and I’ve worked extensively with frameworks and technologies including ISO 27001, ISO 27701, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, Azure, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, DevSecOps, IAM, SIEM, SOAR, CNAPP and CIEM. But this profile isn’t about my certifications. It’s about what I can help you solve. If you’re trying to break into cybersecurity, move into a senior security role, prepare for an interview, improve your CV, understand security architecture, or figure out what to do next in your career, I can help you with practical guidance based on real industry experience. I regularly help cybersecurity professionals with: • Career planning and moving into cybersecurity • Cybersecurity career transitions • CV and LinkedIn profile reviews • Mock interviews for cybersecurity roles • Security Architect / Cybersecurity Architect interview preparation • GRC, Cloud Security, AppSec and Security Engineering career guidance • CISSP and cybersecurity certification guidance • 1:1 mentoring for cybersecurity professionals • Understanding what companies actually look for when hiring security professionals • Reviewing your career roadmap and identifying the skills you should build next For experienced professionals, I can also provide a practical sounding board for security architecture, GRC strategy, cloud security, DevSecOps, IAM, security operations and building cybersecurity programs. I prefer practical conversations over generic career advice. Bring me your CV, a job description, an interview you're preparing for, a career decision you're struggling with, or a cybersecurity problem you're trying to understand. We can spend the session working through it together.
