“Cybersecurity and Business Analysis!! In the rapidly evolving world of AI & AgenticAI, Cybersecurity is no longer an IT conversation—it's a Business Analysis imperative as well! In our Power-UP BA learning series, we brought together thought leadership on the intersection of Business Analysis and Cybersecurity in the AI driven world, exploring how Business Analysts can lead with foresight in an increasingly risk-factored transformation. Thank you to our outstanding speaker, Bindu Channaveerappa – Regional Director IIBA EMEA | Trainer, Author and International Speaker on Business Analysis and Cybersecurity. The insights reinforced the evolving role of BAs as not just problem solvers, but as stewards of secure, scalable, and value-aligned solutions. We're committed to deepening strategic thinking & capabilities across our BA community, with continued focus on relevance, growth, and impact!”

“I worked with Bindu for over a year at Royal Mail. I found Bindu to be a very capable Senior Business Analyst able to perform to a high level on a number of varied projects within International. She was competent and very conscientious, ensuring all her work was delivered on time and to a high quality. Her core BA skills are strong and reflect her deep experience. She brought a mature outlook to all her projects. Bindu brings some great knowledge and insight from her work with the IIBA as well so it was great to have her on the team to share her wider knowledge.”

“Bindu is a highly professional and very experienced Business Analyst, but one who is very willing still to get into the detail and deliver high quality outcomes. Bindu has demonstrated in a short time a great ability to get to grips with new and complex business processes and IT solutions. Bindu has won the respect of new colleagues such as project managers very quickly.”

“I had the privilege of working with Bindu at BSI in various projects few which were very challenging. Bindu is an extremely bright and hard working business analyst professional. She works tirelessly to meet tight deadlines and has always exceeded expectations for quality in requirements. Bindu’s ability to juggle very difficult and complex pressurised projects was unlike anything I have seen before which made a dramatic difference to the team’s productivity level and project delivery. Bindu is a wonderful team player always very approachable and supportive and maintains a great relationship with internal and external stakeholders. Bindu would be an extremely valuable asset to any organization.”

“As part of the IIBA Pilot mentorship scheme 2014/15, I was one of Bindu's Mentees. After helping shape my goals she advised on the most effective approaches to develop and apply key practical skills required for the role. I gained in confidence and competence and am more than happy to recommend her.”

Kirk Clark

Business Analysis Manager, Channel 4

“Bindu is a highly professional consultant BA and a very safe pair of hands, happy to be parachuted in with the project already moving at pace and to get into the detail but also willing to take the time to coach the team on best practice tools and techniques. Bindu is also involved in organising and speaking at IIBA events, this just highlights that she is one of the most experienced BAs out there.”

James Treble

Senior Business Analyst, Royal Mail Group

“Bindu's slightly unconventional approach to business analysis meetings is a breath of fresh air. Through mindfulness techniques Bindu banishes outside distractions bringing about a more focussed and productive environment. I always look forward to working with Bindu because of her approach and have even started to incorporate her teachings into some of the meetings that I facilitate.”

Libby Collins

Head of Customer Relations, BSI

“I've had the pleasure to work with Bindu during the requirements gathering for one major project at BSI. This complex project involved numerous business stakeholders and Bindu's excellent communication skills were very helpful. She often started meetings with a 2-minute relaxation session which really helped everybody to focus and clear out their mind. In addition, Bindu is a very nice person to work with on a daily basis.”

Bérengère Lemaire

Communications, DESOTEC

“Bindu has been running a Mindfulness club and workshops at BSI for about 2.5 years now. The club has become increasingly popular, thanks to Bindu's highly professional approach, her in-depth knowledge of the topic, and perhaps most importantly, the very real results that participants experience. The sessions are calming, allowing the mind to re-energise and the body to rejuvenate. I find I am more creative, and somehow find everything more enjoyable as a result.”
