Meet Ligia - The AI & Cybersecurity Executive Who Gets Things Done

As CEO of Data Security Consulting, I don't just talk strategy - I roll up my sleeves and build comprehensive AI governance frameworks and data protection programs that actually work in the real world.

What sets me apart? I've been on both sides of the equation - from managing 24/7 global security operations at IBM to architecting AI-driven analytics programs at Symantec, to now guiding C-suite executives through their AI transformation journeys. I speak fluent "business stakeholder" and "technical team," which means I can translate AI complexity into boardroom clarity and turn regulatory requirements into operational reality.

As a proven leader, I've built high-performing teams, developed multi-million-dollar go-to-market strategies, and driven product innovation by working directly with key stakeholders across Fortune 500 organizations. I operate seamlessly between strategy and execution, whether facilitating executive CISO sessions, structuring partnerships with top-tier technology vendors, or bridging customer needs with product development to create solutions that work.

I'm also a bit of a trailblazer - I was the first female graduate in my cybersecurity program and earned advanced degrees in both cyber policy from Tel Aviv University and an Executive MBA from Ben-Gurion University. But what I'm most proud of is building teams and frameworks that outlast any single project, creating lasting transformation that keeps companies secure and competitive in our AI-driven world.
