Director – OT Cybersecurity
With over 16 years of global experience in industrial automation, I specialise in leading, designing, and delivering large-scale Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) cybersecurity programs across diverse industry verticals including power generation, oil & gas, mining, metals & minerals, manufacturing, and building management systems.
As a trusted technical advisor and strategist, I provide end-to-end consultancy for securing industrial environments, bridging the gap between traditional control systems and modern cybersecurity frameworks. My experience spans OT risk assessments, ICS/SCADA security architecture design, IEC 62443/NIST CSF compliance implementation, threat modelling, network segmentation, security operations centre (SOC) integration, and incident response planning tailored for OT ecosystems.
Notable areas of expertise include:
-
Planning and executing IIoT deployments with embedded security
-
Leading ICS cybersecurity maturity assessments and CSMS (Cybersecurity Management System) implementations
-
Driving convergence strategies for IT-OT integration
-
Building cross-functional teams and governance models for long-term OT cyber resilience
-
Collaborating with global stakeholders for secure digital transformation initiatives
A passionate advocate for critical infrastructure protection, I actively contribute to cybersecurity awareness, industry forums, and capacity-building initiatives to elevate OT cybersecurity readiness across the industrial sector.
