Hi! I’m André, a Director-level leader who runs enterprise programs that reduce cyber exposure, close audit findings, and force remediation across large, regulated environments. Combines operational credibility, governance discipline, and executive communication to move risk from visibility to closure.
I’ve recently entered the market and am exploring my next leadership role in Technology Risk and Cyber Operations. My work has centered on helping large, regulated organizations reduce cyber exposure, close audit findings, and drive real remediation — not just reporting risk, but driving it to resolution.
