Today is an incredibly special day, it’s not just our 19th Wedding Anniversary with my wife but also a day which I have added a pioneer award into my career. I am proud to announce that I have been awarded by GEC Media and GCF as Global Future Security Leader and TOP CISO.
I am thankful to GEC Media Group as well as everyone who helped me on this journey. Special thanks to all my coworkers at Standard Chartered Bank for their support and of the wonderful Cyber Community that I am part of.
