About Carlos R Sanchez

Operational Technology cybersecurity leader with 20+ years delivering secure IT/OT convergence for manufacturing, energy, and critical-infrastructure environments. I build and lead cross-functional security programs — from asset discovery and network segmentation to micro-segmentation, ICS/SCADA hardening, and incident response — that measurably reduce operational risk while enabling reliable production delivery.Proven track record scaling teams, managing vendor & budgetary programs, and translating technical risk into board-level decisions. Core strengths: OT risk management, secure-by-design architectures, ICS/SCADA protocol mapping, incident response orchestration, and program governance. Open to senior leadership roles that need an operator who can both strategize and execute.
