About Me
VALUE QUESTION: What IT problems keep you up at night? I can help you!
With 3 decades of global IT leadership, I have been a catalyst for transformational change, redefining cybersecurity and digital landscapes across continents.
Two decades of my career were devoted to spearheading mission-critical programs for renowned banks and financial institutions across Africa, along with global giants like GMAC and ANZ. Beyond banking, I have driven impactful initiatives for Max New York Life Insurance, NIIT, and leading mobile operators in India.
For the past 5 years, I have focused exclusively on Identity and Access Management (IAM), leading enterprise-wide programs that secured 400+ business-critical applications and reduced audit findings by 60%. My proprietary S.E.C.U.R.E. framework has been instrumental in transforming IAM practices, aligning security measures with business objectives, and empowering organizations to mitigate evolving threats.
As a leader who thrives on solving complex challenges, I bring a rare blend of strategic vision and execution excellence to every initiative. Whether it’s optimizing operational efficiency or driving cybersecurity innovation, my work consistently transforms security functions from cost centers into strategic enablers.
