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.
