About Me

Serving as the Director of Cyber Security Technical Specialists and Consultants at Absa Group Limited, my role is at the forefront of managing cyber risks within banking institutions' ever-evolving technological and threat landscape.

Over a 30-year IT and Information Security career, I've accumulated substantial expertise in solution architecture security reviews, third-party security reviews, application and infrastructure security, cloud security, risk management, post-implementation reviews, and penetration testing, gained at International Banks. I am involved in the development of policies and standards. I lead an expert team to deliver technology cyber risk reviews and penetration testing services to the bank.

I am keenly interested in applying Generative AI within the banking industry. The thoughtful integration of Generative AI contributes to identifying potential risks and uncovers new avenues to yield benefits and optimize operations within the banking context.

I am deeply passionate about devising security solutions that empower organizations to operate securely amidst the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats.

I am a keen photographer and an active contributor to Google Local Guides, where I am a Level 8 Contributor. I enjoy analysing data, reading, and travelling - when I can.
