What I Bring to the Table (Right Now)
✅ Active Mentorship & Expert Training
I’m currently being personally mentored in ISO 27001 Lead Implementor training by a world-renowned expert in the field. Due to a non-disclosure clause, I can’t publicly share their name, but their guidance is world-class, and I’m preparing to sit the Lead Implementor exam when ready. I also have access to industry-grade documentation, checklists, and implementation templates used by elite consultants.
✅ Real-World Exposure to Live Projects
I’ve already contributed to live ISMS-related projects—co-working with security professionals to support assessments and documentation. I may not have decades in the field, but I’m in the field right now, learning by doing and applying what I learn in real time.
✅ Process Optimizer by Nature
In a former QA engineering role, I built a complete mentorship and onboarding program for new hires—self-initiated. I observed patterns, distilled success habits of top performers, and created an internal best practice success doc that elevated engineers learning curves and improved team cohesion. I do more than “do the job”—I improve it.
✅ Autodidact Mindset + Team-Player Heart
I’m an obsessive learner with a humble mindset. I won’t come into your company trying to “rebuild the wheel.” I’ll align with your processes, absorb your culture, and enhance what’s already working. You get a curious, coachable, high-integrity contributor—not a lone wolf or know-it-all.
✅ Culturally Fluent, Timezone Flexible
I’m British-South African, fluent in native English (and 100% comfortable with US English, which I’ve used professionally my whole life). I live in Turkey with my wife and daughter and operate fully remote through my UK-based virtual office. I value time zones, communication clarity, and consistent delivery. This is what drives me. My desire to provide the best life for my family – that is my goal, so stability, and thats why its so relevant -where I live and my family values, i want a stable home at work and a stable home.
✅ I Genuinely Love to Work
Some people work to get by. I work to contribute. I get a real thrill from improving systems, mastering frameworks, and solving challenges. And I bring that fire with me.
What Others Say About Me
I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Brian, whom I’ve had the privilege of working with closely. As Brian embarks on a GRC/ISMS internship, I can confidently attest to his exceptional qualities that make him perfectly suited for this field.
What immediately stands out about Brian is his remarkable diligence. He approaches every task with thorough attention to detail and unwavering commitment. This quality is particularly valuable in GRC work, where precision and thoroughness are paramount.
His capacity for knowledge absorption is truly impressive. Brian not only grasps complex governance concepts quickly but also retains and applies them effectively. I’ve observed him synthesize information from various sources and translate it into practical understanding with remarkable efficiency.
When it comes to execution, Brian consistently delivers. His ability to implement learned concepts and complete assignments promptly has been invaluable. He possesses that rare combination of working both efficiently and thoroughly, never sacrificing quality for speed.
Perhaps most importantly for a role in governance and compliance, Brian has demonstrated the highest levels of trustworthiness and accountability. He takes ownership of his responsibilities and can be relied upon to handle sensitive information with appropriate discretion and care.
I have no doubt that Brian will excel in his GRC/ISMS internship. Any organization would benefit greatly from his contributions, and I give him my strongest recommendation.”

🛡️ Why Hire Me
🌍 Remote-Ready. Team-Integrated.
I’ve worked with international teams across time zones, cultures, and generations.
I don’t just adapt—I thrive in diverse environments. I understand process, respect hierarchy, and deliver independently without friction.
If you have Gen Zs, Millennials, or Boomers—I’ve worked with them all. And built rapport with every group.
🧠 Interpersonal Intelligence Is My Superpower
Whether I’m talking to junior staff or the C-suite, I meet people where they are.
I meet everyone with curiosity, respect, and energy. That’s why I’ve always integrated effortlessly, whether on technical teams or in high-level discussions.
🕰️ Timezone-Aligned, Calendar-Friendly
I work when you work. That means real-time check-ins, no timezone drift, and no excuses.
⚙️ Execution > Excuses
I take ownership from day one. I ask the right questions, deliver what matters, and move things forward.
You won’t need to manage me—you’ll just see results.
🗣️ Fluent, Flexible, Professional English
Whether it’s internal reports or client-facing communication, I write and speak clearly in both UK and US English. No rewrites needed.
💸 Cost-Effective Talent with Senior-Level Mindset
Western GRC interns run $20–$30/hour, often with less maturity, focus, or commitment.
At $15/hour, you get someone who behaves like a mid-level consultant—without the bloated price tag.
No recruiter fees. No onboarding risk. No HR overhead.
🚫 No Flight Risk—Only Forward Motion
I’m not a short-term opportunist. I’ll commit in writing if needed.
I’m building a long-term future—for my family and your company.
Certify me, grow me, and I’ll grow with you.
🔥 What I’ll Bring in 2–3 Months (Post-Certification)
🎓 Certified GRC/ISMS Pro
Fully certified, armed with methodology, checklists, frameworks, and real-world context.
💼 Zero Onboarding Time
I’ll already be embedded in your systems and processes. No training needed. Just value.
🚀 Growth-Minded Loyalty
I’m here for the long term. I’ll sign a loyalty pledge if you want.
🏠 What I’m Looking For
- A company that supports and values growth
- A work culture that respects balance (as a father and husband, this matters)
- An opportunity to build trust, loyalty, and results over the long term
If you’re looking for someone who grows with your company instead of hopping jobs, I’m your man.
✍️ If there’s a good mutual fit, I’m committed to growing with the company long term. My focus is on contributing meaningfully to its success and having a highly productive and dynamic career—but above all—stable, consistent growth. Helping build security maturity from the inside out.
When I earn your trust, you can promote or adjust compensation based on performance and results, not demands.
No entitlement. No drama. Just a loyal, grounded pro ready to grow with you.
