Pooja Bansal has taken on the role of Senior Director at NopalCyber, bringing her long-standing expertise in cybersecurity leadership, enterprise risk governance, and modern security transformation to a fast-growing digital security landscape. In her new mandate, she is driving strategic cybersecurity initiatives aimed at strengthening trust, resilience, and operational integrity across the organisation, while shaping future-focused service offerings aligned to evolving global risk environments.
Before joining NopalCyber, Pooja served as Senior Director at Fareportal, where she led security, fraud investigations, and internal audit with a 360° cybersecurity model. Her leadership helped establish stronger GRC discipline, SOC maturity, and enterprise-level threat readiness, ensuring protection of digital assets, customer data, and business continuity.
Her earlier roles include key leadership positions at IGT Solutions, InterGlobe Enterprises, PwC, Aujas Cybersecurity, and Tata Consultancy Services, where she engineered security frameworks, ran global compliance programs, led incident readiness initiatives, and drove organisational transformation across infrastructure, application security, governance, and threat response. Across these mandates, she has emerged as a trusted enterprise security leader with a strong record of operational excellence and measurable posture improvement.
With a career spanning over 15 years, Pooja brings deep capability in scaling cybersecurity functions, building high-performance teams, and embedding security as a strategic enabler rather than a reactive function. Her appointment signals a continued focus on strengthening customer trust, security automation, and organisational cyber maturity at a time when digital expansion requires uncompromising protection and proactive resilience.
