Helping organizations stay one step ahead of cyber threats

About

Even after more than 20 years of experience in Cybersecurity, I still get excited about the innovations and opportunities in this ever changing dynamic space of technology. With digital transformation and many other hot topics constantly challenging the way we do things, I've still managed to keep the traditional values such as reliability, transparency, honesty, solution focus and common sense in my daily engagements whilst helping business partners and customers translating their challenges into solutions to drive their businesses forward.

Experience

  • Senior Sales Engineer at Arctic Wolf
    Apr 2026 - Present · 4 mos

    As a Senior Sales Engineer at Arctic Wolf, I help organizations strengthen their cybersecurity posture and achieve real operational resilience. With more than 15 years of experience in advising customers across diverse industries, I’ve seen the same challenge over and over again: countless alerts, disconnected systems, and not enough people or time to manage security effectively. At Arctic Wolf, I work with customers to overcome exactly these pain points — enabling them to detect, respond, and recover faster with a true Managed Detection and Response (MDR) approach that’s independent of specific products or vendors. I’m also focused on helping companies align with NIS2 requirements and embed proactive security operations into their strategy. It’s a great time to be part of the pack — Arctic Wolf is changing the game in security operations, helping businesses of every size stay one step ahead of threat actors. 🐺🔒
