Cyber Risk, Security Governance, and Risk Management professional with 8 years of experience driving enterprise risk oversight, incident escalation governance, and operational resilience across large-scale global environments. At Amazon, I led high-impact risk governance initiatives across cloud-based operational programs, partnering with cross-functional technical and business stakeholders to strengthen control frameworks, improve incident lifecycle management, and reduce systemic risk exposure. My expertise spans enterprise risk assessment, escalation management, governance frameworks, and compliance alignment, with a strong focus on translating complex operational and security risk signals into structured mitigation strategies that enhance control effectiveness and organizational stability. Core areas of focus include: • Cyber Risk & Security Governance • Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) • Cloud Risk Oversight • Incident Escalation & Operational Resilience • Control Validation & Risk Mitigation • Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) • Risk Register Management & Reporting • Data-Driven Risk Analysis I am currently expanding my focus in Cyber Risk Governance, Cloud Security Risk, and industry frameworks such as NIST and ISO 27001 to further align operational risk management with evolving cybersecurity and regulatory landscapes. I am particularly interested in opportunities across Cyber Risk, Security Governance, GRC, and Security Program Management, where I can contribute strategic risk oversight, stakeholder leadership, and scalable governance frameworks.
