Babak Hooshmand

CyberSecurity Team Leader, ICT Consultant, DBA, PBA®, PMP®, PRINCE2®, PSM®, ITIL®, CSAP®, C|EH®, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/SAE 21434

I am a seasoned professional in Cybersecurity and IT project management, with 16 years of experience across various industries, including Pharmaceuticals (collaborating with companies like Sanofi, AstraZeneca, MSD, GSK, J&J, Novartis, Roche, L’Oréal, LFB), Import/Export, Construction, Software Development, Distribution, Automotive, and Finance. My career began in a helpdesk role and evolved step by step, advancing to Network Administrator and eventually to IT and Cybersecurity Projects Manager in leading pharmaceutical companies. I hold a Master’s degree in Information Technology from Lydon University and possess extensive expertise in a wide range of software solutions. I have implemented and managed projects using Microsoft business solutions and software, leveraging tools like MSP, Jira, and Trello for project management. Committed to continuous learning, I regularly update my skills through professional courses and self-study. I am certified by Microsoft as a professional, PMI as a PMP and PBA holder, AXELOS as a PRINCE2 Practitioner, and SCRUM as a PSMI certified professional. Additionally, I hold certifications in CEH, CSAP, and ITIL, and I am an official auditor for ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO 27001. However, when reflecting on the keys to my success, I prioritize my ability to collaborate and engage with others over my certifications. While qualifications are essential, they are not effective without a professional and team-oriented approach. Throughout my career, my energy and motivation have stemmed from working with others. I am passionate about giving and receiving feedback, supporting my colleagues, and seeking assistance when necessary. With a growth mindset, I am eager to contribute to diverse projects where I can share my expertise, add value, and simultaneously develop my skills by learning from others. I believe that this collaborative attitude is essential for a team’s success, and I am committed to being an integral part of that success.
