  • Exceptional leadership, coaching, and team-building skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence and engage executive stakeholders.
  • Strong organizational and strategic thinking capabilities.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or a related field. Advanced degree or certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM) are a plus.
