   Leading a transformative process optimization initiative, I am at the forefront of automating approximately 50 physical security tasks, shifting them to cloud-based mobile and web applications. With a project budget of €600k, this endeavor is poised to revolutionize Corporate Security operations in India, aligning protocols with regional legal mandates and fostering the development of local compliance policies.In my role, I oversee adherence to Global and Regional Corporate Security norms and directives, acting as the primary contact for security incidents in the region and ensuring seamless communication with affected travelers. Beyond this, I manage local security operations, develop incident response and crisis resolution strategies, and actively cultivate partnerships with regional stakeholders to enhance organizational security.Additionally, I orchestrate and deploy all Corporate Security efforts (FCP) throughout the APAC territory. Noteworthy achievements include piloting multiple security system projects in APAC from 20••••21, formulating comprehensive security strategies for corporate entities in South India and Sri Lanka, and successfully managing tier 1 vendor security operations to assure SLA and standard conformity.My expertise extends to executing physical security evaluations of Deutsche Bank premises, administering transport security measures, and championing women\'s safety initiatives. I have also provided valuable assistance to Deutsche Bank affiliates, contributing to worldwide projects and operational demands.
