Protective Intelligence Network Expands Its Advisory Board with two International Experts
Published on 19th March, 2026
Protective Intelligence Network (PIN) is pleased to announce the appointment of two distinguished professionals to its Advisory Board,Dr. Alessia Dorigoni from Italy and Vikram Rajakumar from Singapore, further strengthening its multidisciplinary and international expertise across key domains of modern security and intelligence.**
These new members join an already diverse group of experts from different regions of the world, reinforcing PIN’s commitment to integrating advanced knowledge, operational experience, and scientific research into its advisory and analytical capabilities.
- Dr. Alessia Dorigoni - Behavioral Intelligence & Decision Sciences
Dr. Alessia Dorigoni is a researcher and consultant specializing in human behavior and decision-making in high-risk and high-uncertainty environments. Her work operates at the intersection of cognitive and social psychology, behavioral economics, and decision neuroscience.
Her expertise focuses on how cognitive biases, emotional responses, and information structures influence human judgment—particularly in complex, adversarial, and information-dense environments. Through advanced methodologies such as eye-tracking, facial expression analysis, and psychophysiological measurements, she identifies cognitive vulnerabilities, communication anomalies, and persuasive dynamics. Dr. Dorigoni’s work translates scientific research into operational insights for institutions dealing with strategic risk, cognitive warfare, and information operations.
She holds a PhD in Economics and Management from the University of Trento and collaborates with universities, research centers, and international organizations on projects related to AI-assisted decision-making, behavioral analysis, and emerging cognitive threats. She delivered war-gaming exercises at the Centre for High Defence Studies of the Italian Ministry of Defence (CASD)
In today’s landscape—where influence operations, disinformation, and cognitive manipulation are increasingly central—her expertise provides critical capabilities to understand, anticipate, and mitigate behavioral risks affecting both individuals and organizations.
- Vikram Rajakumar – Protective Design & Security Engineering
Vikram Rajakumar brings nearly two decades of global experience in national security, risk management consulting, and physical security engineering, with a strong specialization in protective design.
His career spans high-risk environments across Southeast Asia, North Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia, providing him with a comprehensive understanding of evolving threat landscapes and infrastructure vulnerabilities. He has worked with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Terrorism Prevention Branch in Vienna and supported major global organizations including Uber, Meta, and Palo Alto Networks.
Vikram’s expertise lies in translating complex threat intelligence into practical, cost-effective, and resilient security design solutions. His work integrates architectural considerations, operational requirements, and threat-informed methodologies to ensure that environments are secure by design.
He obtained a MSc degree in Straregic Studies at the renowned Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore
As threats increasingly target critical infrastructure, data centres, and high-value assets, protective design and security engineering are no longer optional but foundational. His expertise ensures that security is embedded at the design stage—reducing vulnerabilities before they materialize.
Protective Intelligence Network in Singapore is very proud to welcome Dr. Alessia Dorigoni and Vikram Rajakumar to its Advisory Board.
Their expertise will support the organization in advising clients, institutions, and partners on complex security challenges—ranging from cognitive and information threats to physical and infrastructural vulnerabilities—while contributing to the continuous development of advanced, intelligence-led solutions.
