Executive profile
I lead technology at the intersection of business, security, architecture, and operations.
My work is centred on making technology dependable enough for the business to trust: secure by design, operationally resilient, financially sensible, and aligned to measurable outcomes.
Profile
From engineering depth to executive accountability
I am Alex Asciencio Ayekha, an IT and information security leader with more than eight years of experience across enterprise technology, software architecture, fintech, logistics, and high-trust operational environments.
I currently serve as an IT & IS Manager, with responsibility spanning technology operations, information security, infrastructure, vendors, audit and compliance support, recovery planning, and digital systems. Earlier in my career I held CTO responsibilities in technology ventures, where the mandate was broader: product architecture, engineering execution, platform scale, and translating commercial priorities into working systems.
That combination shapes how I think. I am comfortable at implementation depth, but I evaluate technology through an executive lens: what risk does it remove, what capability does it create, what does it cost to operate, how will it fail, and can the organisation govern it effectively?
Leadership remit
The areas I am accountable for
