Über mich
Success in cybersecurity is a collaboration where the only constant, is change and growth. The good news is board level visibility of Cybersecurity controls means it's a must-have, to reduce business risk. Talk to me about: • Cybersecurity; either I have insight or know someone who does. • SASE, Zero Trust, ZTNA or any marketing "buzzword of the day". • Companies with products which can consolidate spend... add 1, remove 3 or more. • Solving multi-dimensional cybersecurity vulnerabilities cost effectively. • Telecommunication, Audio Visual, Cloud and Neatwork Services As a disruptor, and well connected individual (LinkedIn), my talents lie in developing relationships and connecting people at the business owner and/or C-level. This has led to success in multiple verticals including Legal, Healthcare, Media & Entertainment, Commercial Real Estate, Cities, Education, and Manufacturing organizations of all sizes.
