Your trainer
Ricardo Coronel Lemus
Over 20 years in cybersecurity and compliance, today working as a vCISO and GRC consultant with real clients in France, Spain and Mexico. I have led DORA implementation in banking and payments companies, driving the compliance process in real conditions. I don't teach DORA theoretically: I have applied it in the field. That's what I bring to my training and coaching.
“A big thank you to Ricardo for the quality of his delivery, his teaching and his many real-world insights, which made this DORA training especially concrete and useful.”
