Arash Rahmani
Strategic Leader ∙ Digital Resilience expert ∙ AI & Innovation enthusiast
With over a decade of international management experience, I excel in developing and executing security strategies that not only mitigate risks but also enable business growth. My expertise spans information security governance, risk management, and compliance, all with a strong emphasis on aligning security with business goals. I have a proven track record of increasing security maturity, managing multidisciplinary teams and driving digital resilience in complex organizational environments.
Trusted Advisor & interim CISO
Currently I am working as a Principal Consultant / Trusted Advisor at Sogeti (Part of Capgemini). In this role I help clients improve their digital resilience and act as an interim CISO, Head of Information Risk Management or similar roles, where I manage the security teams and guide organizations through critical transitions and transformations.
Board member
My ancillary activities include serving as a board member of ISACA Netherlands (international professional association focused on IT Governance and Risk Management) and advising members of Dutch and EU parliament and mentoring to building a secure digital future.
Public speaker & strategic connector
What sets me apart are my soft skills: I am a strategic connector, capable of translating complex IT and security concepts into business language that resonates with stakeholders. I bring a helicopter view to challenges, enabling me to address both immediate needs and long-term goals. My ability to think from the perspective of business leaders ensures that security is not seen as a barrier but as a enabler of innovation and success.
