Lavanya Rajagopalan has been promoted to Portfolio Director supporting the Chief Security Office at Barclays, marking another leadership milestone at a time when enterprise security, AI governance, and technology transformation are becoming increasingly interconnected.

Lavanya shared that the evolving pace of technology, transformation, and AI adoption is making security a far more central pillar of long-term enterprise strategy and operational resilience.
