Three decades as a group senior cybersecurity executive across Standard Chartered Bank, S&P Global, Qantas Airways and IBM, turned into talks your audience can put to work the next morning.
Enquire About SpeakingEach talk is built for a different room, so the first thing worth knowing is who will be sitting in yours.
Your audience leaves with an honest view of what their career is costing them, and a way to start building something of their own alongside it, so that corporate becomes optional rather than the only plan.
Drawn from building two seven-figure businesses alongside an executive role before leaving corporate in 2024.
Your audience leaves with practical ways to put cyber risk in front of a board in terms the board will act on.
Drawn from leading security at Standard Chartered Bank, Qantas Airways and IHS Markit, and from the ADAPT talk Winning the Boardroom.
Your audience leaves with a clear read on how AI is changing senior roles, and what to own so their expertise keeps its value.
Drawn from three decades inside large organisations and the work I now do with executives planning their own exit.
Conferences, awards and speaker profiles you can check for yourself. Each one links to the original source.
These recognise my security leadership. They are awards from the organisations named, not reviews of a talk.
I don't do motivational speeches or vague corporate wisdom. Every talk starts with a pattern your audience recognises from their own working lives, then builds a framework they can use the moment they walk out the door.
The stories come from three decades across Standard Chartered Bank, S&P Global, Qantas Airways and IBM, and I choose them because each one taught me something worth passing on rather than because it makes me look good. The aim is the moment when someone in the audience leans over to a colleague and says, "That's exactly what's happening to us."
You won't get slides full of bullet points or recycled LinkedIn content, because the frameworks I use on stage are the same ones I use in my own work and with the executives I advise.
Interviews, podcasts and articles, so you can hear how I talk before you book. Each is credited to the outlet that published it.
Quick form, and no sales call unless you want one. The more you can tell me about your audience and date, the more useful my first reply will be.
The first reply is about fit, covering whether the date and format work for your event and which of the three talks suits your audience. Fees and availability depend on the date, location and format, so they're confirmed once the brief is clear.
