I am a passionate information security leader and I enjoy making the technical aspects of security become real for people, especially when it comes to making information security engaging and accessible for the non-specialist community. I frame security in a way that’s relatable across a business, regardless if you’re a lawyer, a developer, a client, an engineer or a C-level executive. As part of that passion I’ve been a moderator and a panellist at security events in Geneva and London. I’ve been a security generalist for years and I pride myself on having learned my craft on the job working my way up through various IT administration and architecture roles. As part of my current role I'm redefining how security is done at Iponweb, and initiating a large program of security transformation, based on risk and strategy. My remit is all of information security, incorporating all of my previous experience and intra-domain knowledge into a holistic strategy for effective long-term security. I’m generally known by my colleagues for having a pragmatic, practical approach to security and architecture, which is underpinned by my own technical experience. I’m also upfront about when I don’t know something and open to learning new things regularly on the job. It’s important to me to have a fun and collaborative working relationship with my colleagues, and to share knowledge in an effort to grow myself and my people.
