About

My native language is IT. I am a Chief Information Technology Officer (CITO) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with over 20 years of hands-on and executive-level experience across IT infrastructure, OT/ICS environments, and enterprise cybersecurity. Throughout my career, I have been invited into roles rather than applying for them, trusted to design, secure, and scale mission-critical systems in industrial, energy, and large-scale operational environments. I specialize in: IT & OT convergence in high-availability and high-risk infrastructures Cybersecurity strategy, governance, and risk management ISO/IEC 27001 design, implementation, and certification processes Large-scale fiber optic and network infrastructure design SOC, SIEM, incident response, and cyber resilience Board-level technology and security decision support Key achievements include: Designing and managing 15+ km fiber optic infrastructures Scaling surveillance environments to 400+ IP cameras Leading ISO 27001 governance models and compliance programs Securing industrial control systems (PLC, DCS, SCADA) against cyber threats Operating at the intersection of technology, security, and business continuity My approach is business-driven, risk-aware, and execution-focused — translating complex technical challenges into clear, strategic decisions for executive leadership and boards.
