I am Jorge Mario Ochoa, and it is a privilege to be under consideration for this distinguished role. With over two decades in IT and Cybersecurity, I stand humbled by the chance to contribute my expertise and fervor to ISC2's noble mission.

The year 2,017 marked a profound milestone, I was awarded as the Senior Professional of America by ISC2 and for the Most Innovative Cybersecurity Project by the EC Council.

As an active member of ISC2, I've been fortunate to serve as a member of the Chapters Advisory Committee, President of the ISC2 Guatemala Chapter, a member of the Global Achievement Awards (GAA) Committee, and an Official CISSP Training Instructor.

I'm constantly looking for collaboration with public and private sector to promote development through education. As a professor for 2 Universities in LATAM I encourage my students to go beyond and make a positive impact in Cybersecurity.

I have had the privilege of speaking at international cybersecurity congresses across America, Asia, and Europe. These engagements have provided a platform for sharing insights, exchanging ideas, and fostering global collaboration among cybersecurity professionals. These experiences have significantly enriched my understanding of the diverse challenges our community faces on a global scale.

My firm belief in the transformative power of education in reshaping lives and societies towards safer horizons has guided my journey. This commitment is exemplified by my pursuit of over 35 international certifications, including CISSP, C|CISO, C|BP, CISSP, CISA, CISM, CDPSE, Lead Auditor ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, C) PTE, C)SWAE, C)IHE, C)DFE, Cobit, ITIL, Design Thinking, Lean Six Sigma, Cybersecurity Certification from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as Big Data Certification from the same prestigious institution.

Since collaboration and teamwork are foundational to achieving success, I have dedicated myself to comprehending and supporting diverse aspects of organizational life. This commitment has led me to the pursuit of seven master's degrees and a doctorate. My studies have spanned MBA, Leadership, Project Management, Talent Management, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, Data Science and Data Analysis, culminating in a PhD in Human Dynamics and Mental Health.

Beyond my professional roles, I have actively contributed to the advancement of the cybersecurity community.
