Summary
I advance organizational strategic risk analysis by leveraging deep understanding and passion for data analytics and business intelligence across all cybersecurity domains. My experience in building robust and scalable BI solutions that are grounded in security practitioner-vetted metric methodologies has helped enhance IT governance, drove improvement in change management processes, and laid the foundation for the work I do now - that of bridging the gaps between technical, operational, and executive spheres, and of delivering insights that drive informed decision-making and operational excellence and support the development of comprehensive cybersecurity programs that address evolving threats and protect critical assets.
