I am a dynamic and versatile professional with a rare blend of qualifications and hands-on experience in Cybersecurity, IT Audit, Information Technology, and Corporate & Commercial Law. My career spans both the technical and legal domains, giving me a holistic and strategic understanding of modern risk environments, regulatory requirements, and enterprise security needs.
As a qualified Advocate, I hold both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Law, with a specialization in Corporate and Commercial Law. This legal foundation enables me to navigate complex legal landscapes related to data privacy, compliance, intellectual property, contract management, corporate liability, and cybercrime legislation. I have a deep understanding of national and international legal frameworks such as the Information Technology Act, GDPR, HIPAA, and other sector-specific regulations, enabling me to align technology and security practices with legal obligations.
In parallel, I have developed strong expertise in the Security and IT domain, with a specialization in Cybersecurity, Information Technology Infrastructure, Risk Management, and IT Auditing. My technical proficiencies include working with standards and frameworks like ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 22301, NIST, COBIT, and ITIL, and I have supported organizations in developing and implementing Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), conducting risk assessments, and performing internal and external audits. My dual perspective of law and IT allows me to serve as a bridge between technical teams and compliance/legal departments, ensuring that both security controls and regulatory expectations are effectively met.
With a passion for continuous learning and an ability to operate at the intersection of technology, law, and people, I bring a strategic mindset and hands-on approach to solving today's most pressing organizational challenges — from cybersecurity threats and data privacy risks to compliance gaps and training needs.
