As an Aussie, originally from the Namib desert, who’s made the San Francisco Bay Area my home, I bring a confusing accent, unique global perspective and a down-under pragmatism to the cyber industry. This international viewpoint enriches my approach to developing and implementing forward-thinking security strategies. My career—a rich tapestry woven with roles from CISO to Gartner Analyst to startup executive—has been dedicated to making security simpler and bridging the gap between complex security challenges and actionable solutions.

My background as a seasoned practitioner is marked by a proven track record of not just navigating, but also anticipating the security landscape’s shifts. Known for deriving actionable insights from complex data without the use of AI, I’m passionate about applying my extensive knowledge to enhance organizational security postures globally.
