Gurps KhairaProgramme Manager: Global Enterprise Cybersecurity Implementations at HSBCSpeaker
Profile
Born in India during a time of civil unrest and terrorism, Gurps’ formative years were shaped by unimaginable adversity. At just five years old, he witnessed the suicide of his mother, a trauma that forged in him an unshakable inner resilience. Those early experiences didn’t break him, they became the fuel for a life defined by discipline, determination, and the pursuit of excellence.
Today, Gurps is a global leader in AI, Cybersecurity, Digital Transformation and high-stakes Change Management. With over 15 years of experience spanning AI, Cybersecurity, IT, Banking, and even Construction, he specialises in leading complex, high-impact projects in some of the world’s most demanding environments. His approach blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, helping organisations navigate digital risk, compliance and organisational transformation with clarity and confidence. But Gurps’ drive doesn’t stop in the boardroom. After 8 years of intense training, he went on to compete in the Miami Pro World Championships of Fitness Modelling, proving that discipline, focus, and elite performance are not just professional ideals, but personal standards he lives by. For Gurps, excellence is a lifestyle, whether it’s in the gym, on stage, or leading global cybersecurity programmes.
A compelling keynote speaker, Gurps is known for combining technical authority with deeply human storytelling. His keynotes connect with audiences across industries, from CISOs to CEOs, offering powerful lessons in leadership, resilience, and transformation. In every talk, he brings a message that’s as inspiring as it is practical: no matter the adversity, greatness is always within reach.
