About

Information Security leader with end-to-end accountability for Cyber Defense, IT and OT/ICS Security, Security Architecture, and Cyber Risk (GRC) in multinational and regulated environments. I focus on reducing organizational attack surface by assessing external exposure, identity attack paths, vulnerabilities, and operational dependencies from an adversarial perspective, translating threat intelligence into risk-based, business-relevant decisions. I partner closely with executive leadership, IT, engineering, and operations to align cybersecurity with business objectives, strengthening resilience, availability, and safety while enabling growth. My approach embeds security as a capability and resilience enabler, not a blocker. My work is anchored in European and international security frameworks and regulations, including NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001 (ISMS), NIS2, and IEC 62443, with a strong focus on critical infrastructure, industrial environments, and OT/ICS systems. 🔹 Core expertise Cyber Defence & Security Architecture Target-state architectures, secure-by-design, Zero Trust, identity-centric security, network segmentation Attack Surface & Exposure Management External footprint discovery, vulnerability prioritization, identity pathways, risk-based remediation IT / OT / ICS Security & Resilience Industrial network segmentation, critical asset protection, operational continuity, safety-aware controls Cyber Risk, Governance & Compliance (GRC) Risk assessments, regulatory alignment, third-party and supply-chain risk, audit readiness Executive & Board Communication Security posture reporting, risk trends, KPIs/KRIs, investment and prioritization support Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration Trusted advisor to senior management, delivery across IT, engineering, operations, and vendors Threat-Driven / Adversarial Mindset Threat intelligence, incident response, detection & response strategy, continuous improvement
