I owned and nurtured the relationship between InfoSec and Engineering, and developed good working practices between the two teams. I improved PBX's engineering standards in line with industry best practices by embedding a secure by default approach into all stages of the development lifecycle.

🌍 Brands included PBX UK and France, Hofmann (Spain) & PosterXXL (Germany)

🏛️ Security Design and Architecture -> in collaboration with the Security Management team, engineers, and peers leaders, I drove innovation and progress on security design patterns for use in services and operations through understanding evolving security risks, security research, and deep technical understanding of engineering patterns.

🗺️ Strategic Security Initiatives -> I drove strategic initiatives or cross-group projects contributing to the overall security strategy as needed to meet the changing security risk environment and ensure the team is achieving commitments. I worked with PMs and independently to create and implement accurate plans and develop success metrics and communication approaches for these initiatives and projects.

🎓 Development and Growth of Organisational Security Expertise & Branding -> I helped develop and grow individual contributors in the team and across the division in security maturity and expertise
