I’ve had the privilege of speaking at major cybersecurity conferences, board briefings, industry panels, and leadership forums across Australia and internationally. As a serial founder with a successful exit from Dragonfly Technologies in 2024 (via acquisition by Black Box), current AISA Board Member (reelected and serving through at least the end of 2027), and active advisor in the cyber space, I deliver a practical, no-nonsense perspective grounded in real-world execution.

What sets my sessions apart is the blend of authentic stories from building and protecting organisations, strategic insight into evolving threats, and a human-centered approach. I make complex topics—like cyber resilience, NIST 2.0 risk alignment, service availability, board-level advisory, incident recovery, and emerging threats - actionable and engaging, without drowning audiences in jargon.

Attendees consistently describe my style as refreshing, motivational, and deeply rooted in the realities of leading through uncertainty.

Whether addressing executives, CISOs, boards, or professionals, my talks bridge technical depth with business impact, inspiring proactive strategies and lasting mindset shifts.

Key Topics & Highlights

• Cyber Resilience & Risk Management - Strategic alignment (e.g., NIST 2.0 transitions), governance, and moving beyond checkbox compliance to risk-based approaches.

• Board & Executive Advisory - Equipping leaders with clear oversight of cyber risks, resilience strategies, and business-integrated decision-making.

• Incident Recovery & Availability - Practical frameworks for service continuity, recovery planning, and building organisational resilience.

• Purpose-Driven Leadership in Cyber - Human factors, culture, mindset, and leading through emerging threats like AI-driven risks.

• Recent highlights include contributions to AISA events, board-level briefings on cyber risk, expert discussions on NIST 2.0, and involvement in the Australian Cyber Conference series.

If you’re organising a conference, executive retreat, board session, internal leadership event, or panel and would like to explore a speaking opportunity - whether on cyber resilience, strategic risk management, recovery strategies, or the founder’s lens on emerging threats - I’d be happy to discuss how I can add real value to your audience.
