NIS2 is Not Just
a Checkbox Exercise

The NIS2 Directive substantially expands EU cybersecurity regulation — mandatory for critical and important entities across 18 sectors. Non-compliance carries fines up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover.

Done right, NIS2 compliance builds genuine operational resilience. As a program manager who has delivered NIS2 programs inside global organisations, I bridge the gap between legal obligation and operational implementation.

Where Technical Depth
Meets Business Acumen

With over 20 years of experience across manufacturing, utilities and critical infrastructure, I specialise in translating complex cybersecurity and compliance requirements into structured, value-driven programs that actually get delivered.

Currently serving as Program Manager for Network Security Monitoring at a global dairy company, I lead the OT cybersecurity program including NIS2 compliance — driving risk reduction and operational resilience at enterprise scale.

My strength is bridging regulatory requirements, security architecture and operational teams — ensuring security improvements stick and deliver measurable outcomes.
