Global CISO with 25+ years in Information Security, IT Strategy and cyber resilience, leading security transformations across high-growth SaaS, energy, transportation, and mission-critical environments. I build security programs that protect people, systems, data, and brand reputation — with a balance of governance, strategy and hands-on technical execution.

With deep experience across Cloud Security, SOC/SIEM operations, Identity & Access Management, DevSecOps, Risk Management, ISO & NIS2 frameworks, I design and implement scalable security architectures that support rapid business growth while ensuring compliance with international standards (ISO 27001/27701/27017/27018, ISAE 3402/3000, GDPR, NEN, PCI DSS, CIS Controls).

Throughout my career, I’ve operated in global leadership roles including CISO for KidsKonnect, Advario, Transdev Nederland, and VP of Information Security for Corsearch, leading teams up to 40+ professionals and driving complex transformations in regulated and high-availability environments.

I excel in building security teams, modern SOC capabilities (MxDR, SIEM, SOAR), securing CI/CD pipelines, and embedding security-by-design across product and infrastructure teams.

My leadership style focuses on clarity, empowerment, coaching, and building trust. I translate complex cybersecurity topics into business language that executives and boards can act on — while fostering a culture of awareness, accountability, and continuous improvement.
