  • Experience

    Empowering Businesses through Secure and Resilient IT With over 15 years of experience, I'm a trusted advisor who helps businesses thrive in today's dynamic landscape. I bridge the gap between IT and business, combining technical expertise with a strategic understanding to:


    Build Robust Security Posture: My certification and experience in Information Security and Risk Management ensure I implement and assess comprehensive Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) to mitigate risks and safeguard your valuable data.

    Navigate Emerging Technologies: I stay ahead of the curve with knowledge of Blockchain technology (potential assessment and implementation strategies) to help you explore its potential for business transformation.

    Ensure Business Continuity: My expertise in ISO 22301:2019 guarantees a robust Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), ensuring your organization remains operational even through disruptions.

    Drive Innovation and Efficiency: I continuously optimize IT operations, delivering successful projects on time and within budget.

    Bridge Communication Gaps: I excel at connecting technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating complex information into clear, actionable insights. My understanding of the NIS 2 Directive (NIS2DTP) ensures your organization complies with evolving security regulations.

    Ultimately, I help businesses leverage security as a competitive advantage, not a hurdle.

      Hobbies

      Music and movement are my go-to ways to unwind and challenge myself. When I'm not strumming out some tunes on my guitar (especially digging ethno jazz with those awesome Macedonian 7/8 rhythms!), I'm often found pushing my limits on a run. Conquering my first half marathon this year was a real highlight!

      Exploring nature is another passion. Vienna's woods are a constant source of beauty, no matter the season, and I love venturing up to the Alps for a more rugged adventure. And to make the most of summer's sunshine, I've recently picked up stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Cruising along the Danube on a sunny day is pure bliss!
