About

With nearly 20 years of experience in cybersecurity consulting, I specialize in leading large-scale engagements that align with clients' strategic objectives. As a trusted security advisor for clients, I have successfully led specialized cybersecurity teams across diverse sectors, including Financial Services, Australian Federal and State Governments, Telecommunications, Property, and Energy, within Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. At Accenture, I lead the Security Operations Modernization service offering in APAC, enabling our clients to build modern, proactive security operations capabilities that effectively defend against emerging threats. My leadership roles at Accenture, Deloitte, Trustwave, and Dell SecureWorks have equipped me with the expertise and leadership skillsets to deliver impactful cybersecurity solutions, build high performing teams and achieve measurable outcomes for clients. My industry thought leadership and ability to foster strong executive relationships enable me to solve complex cybersecurity challenges, strengthen organizational resilience, and deliver long-term value for clients in APAC.I am a firm believer in the philosophy of "live and learn" and the idea that "in the midst of chaos, there is always opportunity." Embracing both opportunities and challenges over the past nearly 20 years in cyber security industry has shaped me into a resilient business leader.
