Stephane Courion

Chief Information Security Officer, Head of Compliance Office – GDPR & NIS2 @ Paradigm

Brussels, Belgium

With 20 years of experience in IT delivery and digital transformation, I bring a pragmatic and business-grounded approach to security. I focus on structuring governance and translating regulatory requirements into informed decisions aligned with business priorities. My approach is risk-based, proportionate, and focused on operational effectiveness. I help organisations strengthen core capabilities, build resilience, and position security governance as a business enabler rather than a constraint.
