About
Security leader.
Builder. Mentor.
I'm the Senior AVP of Information Security at EXL, where I lead SecOps, Governance, and AI Security. Over the past decade I've built security programmes that scale at Atlassian, VMware / Omnissa, and Citrix — organisations where security isn't optional.
My philosophy: security is a delivery problem, not a compliance checkbox. I specialise in embedding SAST, DAST, threat modelling, and secure code review into CI/CD pipelines so vulnerabilities are caught in minutes, not months.
I'm increasingly focused on AI Security — adversarial machine learning, AI blind spots in surveillance systems, and the emerging threat landscape of quantum computing on classical cryptography. I've published research on exploiting AI blind spots in fused physical-cyber surveillance systems.
Outside of work I mentor security professionals on Topmateand run YourCyberSecMentor.
