Didar Gelici

Didar was recognised as the DevSecOps Trailblazer at the Unsung Heroes Awards 2020 and has twice been named one of IT Security Guru’s Most Inspiring Women in Cyber.
Her story is one of growth — from building self-confidence to leading with authenticity, empathy, and purpose. That journey is ongoing. Fuelled by a genuine love of people and a commitment to continuous self-improvement, she brings those learnings into everything she does: whether that’s sharing technical knowledge, speaking openly about women’s health, or exploring what real leadership looks like in practice.
With a career in Information Security Governance, Risk, and Audit stretching back to 2007, Didar has developed a particular focus on making risk and compliance work meaningfully within agile environments — and on creating more space for women in tech.
As AI continues to reshape the security landscape, Didar has been deepening her engagement with it — exploring the intersection of AI, security, and governance through active involvement in AI learning and practice communities. She is also part of an early-stage AI governance startup, contributing her security and risk expertise to help organisations think more carefully about deploying AI responsibly and ethically.
Community sits at the heart of how she operates. Active participation across multiple communities gives her both purpose and perspective, keeping her connected to the challenges shaping the industry while driving it forward.
