About Juan Pablo Hernandez

I’m a security leader at Microsoft focused on helping teams build and operate secure systems, especially in complex and fast-moving areas like AI.My work sits between engineering, risk, and decision-making. I partner closely with product, platform, and security teams to identify meaningful risks, prioritize what matters most, and drive practical security outcomes that scale across organizations.Over the years, I’ve led and contributed to security reviews, AI red-teaming efforts, and cross-org initiatives that improved how security is designed into products, not added at the end. I’m particularly interested in building repeatable processes and clear guidance that help teams move faster while reducing risk.I’m motivated by work that has broad impact, builds trust with customers, and enables secure innovation. Long term, I’m building toward senior leadership roles where I can shape strategy, grow people, and drive security outcomes at the enterprise level.
