About Anthony
I help organizations design and implement effective cybersecurity strategy, governance, and compliance.
15+ years of experience, including Big4 cybersecurity leadership roles, advising banks, payment providers, and large enterprises.
Strong focus on cybersecurity strategy, operating models, and regulatory readiness, not checkbox compliance.
Expertise in ISO 27001, NIST CSF, risk management, security governance, and audit readiness, with hands-on experience supporting regulators and internal audit functions.
Certified CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT, with advanced academic background (post-Master's at ETH Zurich).
Proven at translating regulatory and technical requirements into executive-level decisions, reducing audit friction, and improving security maturity.
Typical engagements include security audits, regulatory gap assessments, CISO advisory, and ISO certification preparation.
