About Soumya Sagiri

I am an Executive CISO| CTO| Principal Management level Security Architecture, Privacy Engineering, and Strategy leader with 19+ years of experience driving enterprise security transformation across regulated cloud, AI-powered product platforms, and public sector environments. I operate at executive decision-making levels, influencing security investment, risk acceptance, and architectural direction supporting approximately $498M in regulated cloud and AI revenue exposure. I build security programs that protect P&L, reduce financial and regulatory risk, and strengthen enterprise valuation while enabling secure product velocity.At AWS, I influenced $100M+ in new regulated pipeline by embedding security architecture directly into product launch frameworks, customer trust reviews, and compliance-aligned reference models. I reduced security approval cycles from 10 days to 6 days (40%), directly improving time-to-revenue across financial services and public sector deals.I modernized security operations integrating SIEM, XDR, SOAR, EDR, and observability platforms, reducing MTTR from 72 hours to 40 hours (45%) and cutting incident containment time 35%, lowering operational disruption risk across multi-cloud environments. I reduced critical vulnerability backlog from 400+ to under 200 (50%) within 12 months, strengthening audit posture and cyber insurance positioning.Across FedRAMP High and CMMC-aligned programs, I improved audit evidence turnaround from 5 days to 2 days (60%), accelerating compliance cycles and supporting faster ATO timelines for public sector contracts.I translate cyber risk into quantified financial exposure models, aligning security investment to revenue protection, regulatory penalty avoidance, and long-term enterprise resilience.Certified CISSP, CISA, and CISM, I lead global programs that integrate security architecture, product protection, AI governance, and public sector rigor into measurable financial and operational impact.
