SKI stands as a transformative force, challenging the conventional perception of security as a mere defensive shield. His journey is highlighted by a groundbreaking achievement the metamorphosis of information security from a perceived cost centre to a profit centre-resonating across the industry. Leveraging metrics and facts, SKI adeptly showcases that a well-orchestrated security strategy goes beyond risk mitigation; it catalyses revenue growth. His unique ability to align security measures with organisational objectives has elevated security from a compliance necessity to a strategic enabler.

Currently serving as the CISO at Ocrolus, SKI extends his influence beyond conventional security responsibilities. Leading the charge in developing and implementing robust security strategies, policies, and technologies, his overarching objective is clear: to safeguard digital assets, ensure regulatory compliance, and fortify defences against evolving cyber threats.

Beyond his corporate role, SKI engages proactively as a pro bono mentor, offering guidance in cybersecurity, leadership, and career development.
