Ideas sharpened
by experience.

Twenty-five years in cybersecurity gives me plenty to write about — and a practical perspective you can put to work. Three ways to borrow it:

Conversations

Sometimes you don't need an engagement, you just need an outside view from someone who has sat where you are. A one-hour call to pressure-test a security decision, talk through an incident, or sanity-check how you're presenting risk to the board.

  • One hour, straight talking
  • No slides, no selling
  • Follow-up summary if you want it

Strategic

Ongoing, practical support for teams and leaders who want a seasoned second opinion. I help security teams cut through noise, leaders present risk in language the business understands, and founders avoid the mistakes twenty-five years have already shown me.

  • A sounding board for security leaders
  • Risk and messaging, translated for the board
  • Occasional, or a day a week — your call

Speaking

I talk about the human side of security, how incentives drive behaviour, and the lessons from twenty-five years of watching people (including me) get it wrong. Straight, candid and grounded in real stories that help to shift perspectives.

  • Keynotes and conference talks
  • Internal briefings and off-sites
  • Panels, podcasts and interviews

Start with a
conversation.

If any of this sounds like the second opinion you've been looking for, the first step is a short email. Tell me what's on your mind.
