Transforming Security from Bottleneck to Business Enabler
With over 20 years in IT and Cybersecurity, I help organizations become more resilient and foster DevSecOps cultures through flexible, business-aligned security strategies.

As a Cybershepherd at Xebia, I partner with organizations to develop robust, business-aligned security strategies that protect and strengthen their operations through periods of transformation and growth. My approach focuses on creating flexible, resilient security culture that enable organizations to thrive in their cloud journeys while maintaining operational continuity.
I work with technology and business leaders to build secure systems and architectures that bend but don't break, helping business remain agile and responsive to evolving threats while pursuing their business objectives. By coaching engineering teams in threat modelling, security testing, and adaptive security practices, I help build internal resilience that scales with the organization.
My passion lies in transforming security from a potential bottleneck into a business enabler that supports sustainable growth. Whether modernizing legacy systems or implementing cutting-edge technologies, I focus on embedding security as a foundational element that strengthens organizational resilience.
