01PROFILE

My work sits at the intersection of payment security, AI governance and digital transformation.

As a PCI QSA, I assess how organisations protect payment environments and sustain security in practice. Alongside this, I work on the governance and transformation questions that determine how organisations adopt AI responsibly, securely and with clear business purpose.
