About Mariam Thomas

With over 20 years in the IT industry, primarily in the financial and banking services domain, I’ve had the privilege of shaping secure, innovative solutions for global majors. My expertise spans cybersecurity, focusing on customer authentication, identity & access management, and application security, with hands-on experience across the entire product lifecycle.From writing my first line of code as a developer to strategizing as a product manager, my journey has been a masterclass in versatility. Along the way, I’ve worn hats as module lead, project manager, program manager, and now, a product manager. This progression has taught me that building great products is not just about technology—it’s about understanding the problem, aligning with business goals, and delivering value to customers. I am passionate about envisioning and executing strategies that define the products of tomorrow. In my current role, I see myself as the de facto CEO of my product, standing at the nucleus of the product-organization-customer triangle. What drives me is solving gaps, overcoming challenges, dealing with uncertainties and creating meaningful solutions that deliver value and foster growth.Guiding principles I live by:“Nothing is impossible for a willing mind.”“Never hesitate to unlearn—it’s the first step toward growth.”“Always start with the end in mind when embarking on a journey.” And one last thing: “If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary
