Alexis Lavigne

I've spent 20+ years securing the systems that can't afford to fail - from mainframes and legacy industrial control systems to modern cloud infrastructure.I started deep on the technical side, self-taught, with a certificate in Cyberenquête (cyber-investigation), and I never really left the command line behind. That's what shapes how I lead today: I understand the systems my teams work on, not just the reports about them. It's also what lets me translate between the engineers building the solution and the executives funding it.Today I lead cybersecurity, IAM, and PAM teams - designing identity and privileged-access programs, hardening infrastructure, and setting security roadmaps for organizations where a breach isn't an inconvenience, it's a headline.A few things I'm known for:• Mission-critical experience - large-scale security projects across banking & finance, transport, and energy, where downtime and compromise are not options.• Legacy meets modern - custom cybersecurity solutions for legacy and industrial systems that most vendors won't touch, alongside cloud, containers, and networks.• Strategic advisory - guiding organizations on security partnerships, roadmaps, and where to invest for real risk reduction.• Leadership from the trenches - I build and grow teams of developers and security engineers, and I've earned their trust by being able to do the work myself.I'm most useful where deep technical depth and senior leadership have to meet - turning complex, high-stakes environments into secure, well-run operations.Always open to connecting with others working on hard problems in identity, infrastructure, and security leadership.
