Summary
Fabrizio Di Carlo is a cybersecurity and risk governance leader with 13+ years’ experience helping European financial services and tech organisations align security, resilience and regulatory compliance with business strategy. As founder and Managing Director of ContrailRisks and a practicing CISO and adviser, he translates complex technical and regulatory demands (DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001/42001) into actionable board-level guidance that supports growth and transformation rather than checkbox compliance. He has built security programmes in cloud-native SaaS, driven Zero Trust and identity initiatives, and supported enterprise resilience at firms including Deutsche Börse, Zurich Insurance and scoutbee. An engaging international speaker and mentor, Fabrizio combines hands-on architectural experience with independent challenge to boost executive confidence in risk decisions. He also brings an unusual blend of technical depth and cultural interests — from advanced AI governance studies to a certified interest in wines — that helps him connect with diverse stakeholders.
