Head of Information Security @ Thermo Fisher Scientific
About
With over 15 years in information security and IT infrastructure, I’ve grown from a hands-on engineer to leading enterprise-level security programs across healthcare and manufacturing environments. My focus is on building secure, scalable systems that enable innovation rather than restrict it. I’m particularly passionate about simplifying compliance, empowering security teams, and improving cross-functional collaboration between technical and business units. I believe that strong security starts with people—trust, communication, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.
