Having navigated my own unconventional career path - from non-technical roles into senior positions in cybersecurity - I know first-hand the challenges and uncertainties of change. My early transitions taught me how isolating it can feel without mentorship, and how transformative the right guidance can be. With leadership experience as Senior Security Director at Motorola Solutions (managing a team of 12) and now as Director of GRC in a technology company (leading a team of 6), I’ve seen how careers grow when given the right direction and support. Over the years, I’ve mentored more than 50 individuals into rewarding cybersecurity roles, many coming from completely different backgrounds. Whether you’re aiming for a lateral career move, breaking into cybersecurity from a non-tech field, stepping into leadership for the first time, or developing skills through mentorship-driven upskilling, I’m here to help you chart your next step with confidence - and avoid the roadblocks I once faced.
