Nuno Simões Dias

I am a senior SECURITY CONSULTANT and DIRECTOR with experience in planning and strategy definition, project management, risk management, vulnerability assessment, information security (GDPR), information technologies, forensic analysis, negotiation, and project analysis. I have extensive experience in team coordination. I have a great capacity for learning, and in last year, I have been consolidating my knowledge in the Cybersecurity Specialist Technical field. 

My academic training in Earth Sciences, although it was interrupted several times for professional reasons, allowed me to develop skills in Geology, Geotechnics, and Hydrogeology. I conducted several fieldwork projects since 2002.
