Embracing this moment as a chance to build stronger, more secure businesses can transform the future for any business—and every stakeholder that business serves.

Cybersecurity could be your biggest risk—or your greatest opportunity. As an EY Canada Senior Manager in our cybersecurity practice, Melanie designs and implements expansive cybersecurity programs to close down gaps, and open up possibilities.

For more than 20 years, Melanie has empowered Canadian organizations to apply transformational, end-to-end cybersecurity programs that extend well beyond cyber and IT alone. By framing cybersecurity as a key differentiator, she enables these clients to develop better controls, strengthen overall governance and set themselves apart by proactively addressing stakeholder concerns. A recognized leader in change management and a strong communicator, Melanie has built her brand by developing future-focused cybersecurity strategies, roadmaps and implementation plans.

Melanie holds a double degree in cybersecurity fundamentals and advanced cybersecurity, from York University. She is also a Certified Information Systems Security Professional.

How are you building a better working world?

“We’re building a better working world by helping clients understand their current threat landscape, and enabling them to take proactive steps to mitigate those risks. Through each program we deploy, we are enabling these organizations to create more secure environments for their people, customers, stakeholders and communities. I love playing a part in that process.”
