About Samuel Pau

Technology and cybersecurity risk leader with 20+ years of experience driving enterprise-level risk governance, control assurance, and secure digital transformation across financial services. I operate confidently across both 1st and 2nd lines of defense, and bring deep expertise in cybersecurity, IT risk, audit testing, and regulatory compliance. I’m known for building and leading high-performing teams — developing talent, fostering accountability, and delivering measurable risk outcomes. I connect technical depth with business impact, helping CIOs, CISOs, and CROs make smarter decisions in complex environments. Core strengths: • Cybersecurity risk management & executive advisory • Team leadership & talent development • ITGC, SOX, and audit remediation at scale • Embedding controls into Agile, Cloud, and AI delivery pipelines • Translating policy and risk appetite into business-aligned execution • Building trusted cross-functional partnerships and high-impact risk culture Fluent in both technical and business domains, I thrive where risk needs to be measured, communicated, and acted upon — not just documented. Let’s connect if you’re looking for strategic risk leadership with the ability to execute.
