- GRC infrastructure strategy experience, aligning technical, cloud-native configurations with global regulatory compliance and audit frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA.
- Surgical technical problem-solving skills to isolate cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, resolve failing controls, and execute zero-disruption remediation.
- High-impact client consulting experience, managing multiple client portfolios and partnering with US-based technology founders, DevOps leads, and executive teams.
- Elite technical communication skills, delivering flawless written and verbal English communication that translates complex cloud vulnerabilities into actionable business value.
