Professional Profile
Analyse systems, break them down, find gaps, Remediate. Repeat.
Privacy isn’t just a checkbox, it's a strategic necessity. With 3+ years as a Technical Consultant in Data Privacy, I've led comprehensive privacy assessments alongside stakeholders, identified technical controls, and create compliance roadmaps, implemented automated Data Governance tools, and ensured compliance with global regulations for multiple Forbes Top 100 MEA clients from heavily for banking clients, to industries like Auto, Real Estate, IT, Pharma, etc.
Beyond the tech, I intend to turn complexity into clarity to explain intricate technical concepts through tailored reports, presentations, and manuals ensures every stakeholder understands what’s at stake. Certified as an ISO27001 Lead Auditor and Certified Data Protection Officer.
Proven track record of being cross-functional, having been involved in most aspects of the business from working with pre-sales on proposals, taking client trainings, leading project management calls and deliverables, working on business requirements, and core delivery.
Also, still a seasonal dev, system architect junkie and very much a techie.
