    2018

    As Cloudinary's Chief Information Security Officer and Data Protection Leader, my main role (and goal) is to build the company's cyber security and privacy culture. As a CISO and an X-RedTeamer, I emphasize the connection between the offensive and the defensive, working on improving Cloudinary's security posture on an ongoing basis, on all fronts. Maintaining and improving the security posture of a company requires a holistic approach. As such, I'm dividing my time between, • Business enablement. Our customers and their needs are our top priority. • Compliance efforts (ISO 27001/27017/27018/27032/27701/27799/22301 and SOC 2 Type II, end-to-end ownership and execution). • Leading Cloudinary's data protection efforts including all GDPR and CCPA related processes (end-to-end ownership and execution). • DevOps/IT/R&D security related processes and architecture enhancements. • Product security. Working as a Product Manager around technical security and privacy requirements. • Proactive offensive security operations. • Manage Cloudinary's bug bounty program (bugcrowd.com/cloudinary).

  • Special Advisor, Strategic Projects (SME, External)

    2018 - 2020

    Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence @ PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). I decided to leave PwC and return as an external advisor two months before becoming a Senior Manager. This was because I couldn't pass on the opportunity of becoming Cloudinary's CISO. Cloudinary's leadership team provided me with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design the company's security and privacy culture from scratch while still providing strategic consultancy services to the PwC global firm network. On top of my consultancy work, I've also designed and developed PwCTF, an innovative Capture the Flag management platform (+ hacking challenges) for international recruiting, training and PR events. The platform has been adopted by the global firm as its official CTF platform for internal cyber training and recruitment events.
