Additionally, I have acquired multiple certifications in Information Security, such as ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, ITIL Foundation, and Certified Ethical Hacker, among others.

Driven by a profound passion for the field, I am dedicated to leveraging my Information Security expertise to empower businesses in delivering innovative and secure solutions to their clients across diverse industries and geographical regions.

As the Senior Director of Information Security at Afiniti, I hold responsibility for overseeing the company's global information security strategy, governance, and operations in regions such as US, EU, UK, Turkey, Korea, Pakistan etc. Afiniti specializes in providing AI and behavioral pairing solutions that optimize customer and employee interactions.

My journey with the company began as an individual contributor, but as Afiniti evolved, I proactively expanded my sphere of influence to encompass various critical functions, including L1, L2, L3, SOC, Architecture & Design, Internal Threat Management, and red team activities, among others. Alongside this growth, I actively engaged in defining the budget and aligning organizational goals with departmental objectives, fostering a cohesive and strategic approach to security and risk management.
