European CISO of the Year 2024 | Visionary Cybersecurity Leader & Executive Coach

I help organisations transform the way they think about cybersecurity — shifting from compliance & controls to culture & resilience.

With over 20 years of experience in information and cybersecurity, I’ve built and led global programs that fuse strategic vision with pragmatic delivery, pairing academic insight with real-world leadership. As a coach and trainer, I’m passionate about turning cybersecurity professionals into trusted business leaders.

📌 What I bring to the table:
•	Recognised as European CISO of the Year 2024, reinforcing my credibility as a top-tier practitioner.
•	A track record of designing and delivering global infosec programmes and teams, driving measurable business impact and fostering organisational transformation.
•	A unique intersection of leadership, organisational behaviour and cybersecurity culture — enabling companies to embed security into their DNA rather than treating it as an add-on.
•	A dynamic speaker and trainer praised for authenticity, inspiration and pragmatism — my sessions blend storytelling, research and leadership lessons to engage diverse audiences and bridge cultural/organisational divides.
•	A mindset of “yes!” to innovation and change — challenging the status quo and driving transformation beyond traditional boundaries.

🔍 How I can help you:
Whether you are looking for a strategic executive to lead cybersecurity through complex change, a coach who can elevate your leadership in a cyber context, or a speaker/trainer who can engage senior teams and multiply their impact — I bring the experience, the network, and the dedication to make it happen.

Let’s connect if you’re seeking a visionary executive or coach who can orchestrate cutting-edge cybersecurity strategy, embed innovation and resilience in your organisation, and help elevate your people and culture for sustained success in today’s digital landscape.

Hi and welcome to my profile!

I'm Amina, and I have a lot of experience in the financial industry.  I've worked at well-known banks in the Netherlands like:
▪ Rabobank
▪ ABN AMRO
▪ Fortis

During my time there, I led different projects involving mortgages, investments, and insurance. I also know a lot about real estate in Amsterdam. I played a big role at a top real estate agency called 123Makelaar, and I learned a lot about handling big insurance claims at a major insurance company. This mix of experiences gives me a unique skill set that connects both finance and real estate.

I've had different roles like Real Estate Specialist, Mortgage Advisor, Office Manager, Insurance Specialist, and Relationship Manager. I create customized solutions to help clients reach their financial goals. Furthermore, I have a strong network in the financial sector and I keep up with the latest trends and rules in the industry.

Right now, I'm the CEO of ONE BITE, where we focus on providing complete real estate services in Dubai. Whether you're looking for a new home, thinking about investments, or need help managing a property, we're here to assist you.
