About

I work at the intersection of cybersecurity governance, IT audit, and emerging technology risk.

As digital transformation accelerates across emerging economies, institutional risk management often lags behind technological adoption. My focus is on strengthening governance structures, improving control environments, and supporting responsible AI implementation within evolving regulatory landscapes.

Through MildSec Hub, I contribute to digital risk conversations, develop governance-focused insights, and support organisations seeking structured, accountable cybersecurity practices.
