About

With over two decades of experience in the Cyber Security domain, I've led organizations through complex threat landscapes. My journey includes building and shaping Information Security departments at two major companies, as well as serving as Principal Information Security consultant for international and large-scale clients. I am a trusted advisor on information security strategy in the Volkswagen Group, and an enthusiastic leader and mentor. Favorite quotes: "If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't understand the problems and you don't understand the technology." - Bruce Schneier “It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.” - Steve Jobs
