Summary
Laurent Greyling is a cybersecurity-focused CTO with 11 years of experience architecting cloud-native .NET systems and leading cross-functional Developer, DevOps and IT teams from Almere, Netherlands. He blends hands-on engineering—building Azure-based microservices, Functions, CI/CD pipelines and secure architectures—with a proactive “think like a hacker” mindset to prioritize prevention across code, infrastructure and organizational layers. Laurent has led cloud migrations, introduced SSDLC and testing practices at banks and secure-communication vendors, and routinely automates tedious workflows to boost pentester productivity. Comfortable shifting between strategy and implementation, he pairs deep Microsoft Azure and .NET expertise (AAD B2C, Service Bus, Key Vault, SignalR, EF, Bicep/YAML) with pragmatic team coaching to raise engineering standards. Notably, he has moved legacy systems to high-performing cloud-native architectures while acting as both technical lead and interim product owner when needed.
