About

I am a senior enterprise architect and a cloud, network, and cyber security leader with over 20 years of experience across diverse industries, company sizes, and cultures. After a decade in global technology and strategy consulting, I took on the challenge of leading cloud and zero trust transformations at the E.ON group, one of Europe’s largest energy grid operators. Now, as CISO (EMEA) in residence at Zscaler, I have the privilege of helping many large organizations grow and evolve their security and risk mindset, as well as their architecture. Additionally, I am deeply committed to sustainability and frequently share my perspectives through podcasts and event keynotes.
