GRC Professional in Kenya

Hey everyone,

I’m based in Nairobi. CISA, DPO, Security Analyst certified. I build GRC programs - risk assessments, ISO 27001, policy, board reporting. Worked across fintech, telco, enterprise, and government.

Real talk: I’ve hit final stage 4 times this year. Last one was at a major telco. Both offers that got to offer stage fell through because of employer-side immigration/visa issues. Not performance. Frustrating, but I’m still in the game.

Hands-on stuff I’ve done:

- Led an ITSM + IT Governance consultancy for Uganda’s Ministry of ICT

- Migrated AMREF Flying Doctors to SOTI MobiControl for secure mHealth field ops

- Unified surveillance + access control for Aga Khan University Hospital

I’m choosing to specialize in GRC long term. That’s where I add most value.

Now open to:

1. Remote GRC/Cyber roles globally

2. In-house roles with relocation. I’ve proven I’ll move for the right opportunity.

Question for the group:

1. Any companies you know hiring GRC talent internationally/remote?

2. Anyone here build a global GRC career from Africa? What’s the 1 thing you wish you knew?

Not just looking for a job - also looking for advice, intros, or even a 10min chat with someone who’s been there.

Happy to share my full resume if anyone wants to take a look.

Thanks in advance 🙏
