Organisations at the intersection of security, AI, and digital transformation don't need more theory. They need someone who's been in the room, made the calls, and delivered outcomes at scale. I spent over two decades doing exactly that, most recently as CTO within Cisco's Customer Experience organisation across Asia Pacific, Japan, and Greater China, working directly with enterprise leaders to strengthen digital resilience, align technology strategy with business goals, and turn complex challenges into practical results. Today, through The Duca Group, I advise organisations and technology companies navigating cybersecurity risk, AI adoption, and technology strategy. I work with boards, leadership teams, and vendors who want clear thinking, hard-won experience, and a trusted perspective. Not a slide deck.
Co-founder and CEO of getsoteria.ai, building governed autonomy for security operations. The autonomous SOC has shipped, but almost nobody has switched it on because one wrong call at machine speed is an outage. getsoteria.ai is the governance layer that wraps probabilistic AI in deterministic rules, so a machine acts only where policy allows and its confidence clears the bar set for each asset. Being right and being allowed are different things. Both have to pass, and it never fails open. Vendor-neutral, multi-tenant by design, with every action recorded, so compliance becomes a byproduct of running. Patents filed. Built in Singapore, launching in Singapore and Australia first.
