Translate complex cybersecurity issues into clear business, operational, financial, and customer implications.
Develop evidence-based recommendations and pragmatic roadmaps that consider risk, business priorities, technical dependencies, implementation feasibility, and client maturity.
Serve as a trusted advisor to senior cybersecurity, risk, fraud, technology, operations, payments, and business stakeholders.
Coordinate multidisciplinary teams and provide project-based direction, coaching, and quality oversight.
Maintain accountability for engagement quality, timelines, risks, stakeholder alignment, and outcomes.
Drive business development through consultative discovery, opportunity shaping, proposal development, pricing inputs, and client presentations.
Help develop advisory offerings, methodologies, tools, and thought leadership.

Ability to assess security architectures, control designs, technical findings, and remediation plans and translate identified gaps into prioritized recommendations.
Working knowledge of recognized cybersecurity and technology-risk frameworks, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27001, CIS Controls, or COBIT.
Experience with financial institutions, payments companies, fintech's, merchants, or other complex or regulated organizations.
