Security Leader.
Builder. Researcher.

I am the Senior AVP of Information Security at EXL, leading SecOps, Risk Governance, and AI Security across global enterprise operations. Over the past decade, I have built security programs that scale across industry leaders including Atlassian, VMware / Omnissa, and Citrix.

My core philosophy: security is a delivery multiplier, not a compliance friction point. I specialize in embedding SAST, DAST, automated threat modeling, and secure code reviews directly into developer pipelines so vulnerabilities are caught in seconds during review.

My active research focuses on Agentic AI Security: adversarial machine learning, prompt injection vectors, AI blind spots in physical-cyber surveillance, and post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) migration strategies.

Outside of corporate governance, I mentor security engineers on Topmate and run YourCyberSecMentor.
