With 9 years of comprehensive Cybersecurity experience spanning security operations, framework implementation (NIST), and cloud infrastructure hardening I am eager to contribute to protecting Virya Energy’s infrastructure. Having spent my career in the highly regulated finance sector, I am versed in maintaining zero downtime environments and mitigating critical operational threats. I am deeply motivated to bring this risk management rigor to support your mission in renewable energy. Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to bridge compliance mandates with practical, technical execution. For instance, I recently chaired a corporate presentation on NIS2 obligations in French, successfully securing executive support to deploy Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across our endpoint infrastructure in strict alignment with NIS2 Article 21 requirements. Furthermore, I regularly leverage the NIST framework to manage security incidents, spearheading detailed post-mortem reporting to deliver actionable, long-term threat-hardening solutions. My proactive approach to risk management is also demonstrated by security assessments where I successfully designed and recommended network defenses, including IDS/IPS implementation and targeted traffic blocking protocols. Beyond my technical capabilities, I thrive in collaborative, cross-functional settings. I am an analytical and approachable professional who believes that transparent communication is fundamental to building a resilient security culture. Additionally, my multilingual background including professional fluency in English and French, paired with Italian and intermediate Spanish enables me to communicate seamlessly across diverse stakeholder groups and regional business units. Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my 9 years of security expertise can help safeguard you rorganisation's infrastructure.
