## Headline

Vice President, Technical Program Manager \| Technology Risk & Controls, IAM, Infrastructure Programs \| Markets & Trading Platforms \| CISA, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer \| Bengaluru

## About

I lead complex, cross\-functional technical programs across platform engineering, Identity and Access Management \(IAM\), infrastructure and cybersecurity — currently for a global Markets risk and trading platform serving 20,000\+ users across 11 lines of business\. Eleven years in, the through\-line is the same: take an ambiguous, high\-stakes technical problem, break it into a sequenced delivery plan engineering can actually execute, and land it without breaking production\. What that has looked like recently: \- Identity and Access Management — I own product governance and the technical roadmap for the platform's central authorisation layer, where every entitlement, permission and approval is created, granted and audited for 20,000\+ users\. \- Platform migration — re\-platformed an IAM backend of approximately 6,000 entitlement groups and permissions onto a new enterprise system with zero downtime and a first\-time\-right cutover, with live operations running throughout\. \- Server\-side authentication — drove a firmwide authentication architecture change across \~11 lines of business, infrastructure groups and product teams to 100% completion, hands\-on with engineering on solution design and problem management\. \- Change delivery — 500\+ critical infrastructure change requests at approximately 99% success rate\. Before this, I led IT General Controls \(ITGC\) programs at Flipkart and Myntra through three consecutive SOX and SOC audit cycles, ran baseline risk assessments for three acquisitions \(Cleartrip, Yantra, ANS Commerce\), and implemented ServiceNow for IT GRC\. Earlier, at PwC, I ran cybersecurity risk assessments for multinational banks and led baseline security assessments for FASTag and contactless credit card launches\. I work at the seam between engineering, security and the business — turning control and regulatory requirements into engineering backlogs, and turning engineering constraints back into decisions leadership can actually make\. Core areas: Technical Program Management • Identity and Access Management \(IAM\) • Authentication and Authorization • Least\-Privilege Access Design • Platform and Infrastructure Programs • Change and Release Management • SDLC • Agile Delivery • Technology Risk Management • SOX, SOC, ISO 27001, NIST CSF • GDPR and Data Privacy • ServiceNow • Executive Stakeholder Communication Certified: CISA \(ISACA\) \| ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer \| ISO/IEC 20000\. MBA \(Systems & Finance\), B\.E\. Electronics Engineering\. Always happy to connect with people building platform, identity and trust engineering programs — nikitaapatil@gmail\.com
