Abhilash Radhadevi

I am a seasoned technology and cybersecurity leader with over 20 years of experience driving digital transformation, enterprise modernization, and information security across diversified industries, including commodities trading, energy, and financial services.

My career bridges both strategic and technical domains — blending deep expertise in IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud transformation, governance, and automation with a proven track record of aligning technology investments to business growth. I have successfully led global teams, delivered multi-entity IT governance frameworks, strengthened cyber resilience, and implemented enterprise platforms (ERP, CTRM, ECM) under secure, compliant, and scalable architectures.

As a CTO, I bring vision, innovation, and operational excellence — leveraging AI, analytics, and automation to enhance business agility and efficiency.
As a CISO, I ensure risk management, regulatory alignment, and proactive defense through well-defined governance, data protection, and resilience strategies.

I thrive in leadership roles that require both strategic foresight and hands-on execution, where technology is positioned not just as a support function, but as a core business enabler.
