Javier Villalba is an IT audit and cybersecurity professional with 11 years of experience specializing in financial services, fintech, and regulated environments across LATAM. He designs and implements governance, GRC, and SOX/ITGC programs aligned to ISO 27001, COBIT and NIST, while acting as a pragmatic fractional vCISO for organizations without dedicated security leadership. Javier blends technical automation skills—Python, SQL and Power BI—to cut audit rework and manual effort, and has delivered measurable impact at scale (e.g., MercadoLibre) and within regulators’ frameworks (BCRA, UIF, CNV). He couples hands-on cloud and DevSecOps experience (Kubernetes, Terraform, Vault) with audit PMO discipline to improve traceability and reduce critical findings. Known for translating complex controls into automated, reusable audit solutions, he regularly presents security strategy and remediation plans to senior management and audit committees.
