BIO
I’m passionate about building security cultures where people—not just technology—are the strongest line of defence. With over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, IT consulting, and cloud management, I understand that true organizational resilience begins with empowering your team at every level.
At Cybersnap, I lead the vision and strategy behind our interactive, award-winning cyber awareness programs—designed to “fix human risk” through clarity, engagement, and common sense. Our approach is practical and people-first, making security simple, effective, and relevant for any organization.
Shaping Security-First Cultures
My mission is to make cybersecurity approachable and actionable for everyone. I design and deliver hands-on training that transforms security from a compliance checkbox into a daily habit—using storytelling, practical exercises, and even donut-themed social engineering drills to make learning stick.
