“Where technology meets strategy, where security becomes leadership.”
About
Cybersecurity isn't just about protecting what we have – it's about enabling what we can become. Every security decision is a business decision, and every business decision has security implications.
my story
Growing up in Germany during the early days of the internet revolution, I witnessed firsthand how rapidly technology could transform society. The emergence of digital connectivity fascinated me, but it was the darker side of this transformation, the vulnerabilities and threats that accompanied our increasing digital dependence, that truly captured my attention. Those formative years watching the rise of cyber threats against critical infrastructure shaped my understanding that cybersecurity isn't just about technology - it's about protecting the foundations of modern society.
My early career coincided with the explosion of sophisticated cyber attacks targeting both private enterprises and government institutions. This timing wasn't coincidental—it was transformative. I realized that traditional security approaches were fundamentally inadequate for the challenges ahead. The intersection of my technical curiosity and my growing awareness of national security implications led me to explore how organizations could build truly resilient cyber defense capabilities.
Through my work with diverse sectors—from multinational corporations to federal agencies—I've witnessed both the devastating impact of cyber incidents and the remarkable capacity of organizations to evolve and strengthen their defenses. This experience reinforced my belief that cybersecurity resilience is not just a technical capability but a fundamental organizational competency that requires both strategic vision and hands-on expertise.

Professional Journey
My professional path began in the technical trenches of cybersecurity, where I developed deep expertise in information security management systems and compliance frameworks. This foundation in practical implementation, combined with my growing interest in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, led me to pioneer innovative approaches to SIEM/SOC operations and managed security services.
The opportunity to work across multiple industries—from critical infrastructure to defense sectors—shaped my holistic understanding of cybersecurity challenges. After establishing my entrepreneurial ventures, I focused on translating complex security concepts into actionable strategies that organizations could implement effectively.
This work evolved into a unique career that combines technical innovation, strategic consulting, and policy influence. My role on the Federal Expert Commission on Cybersecurity allows me to bridge the gap between technical realities and policy requirements, ensuring that national security strategies are grounded in practical expertise. Today, I share these insights with audiences worldwide, helping organizations navigate the complex intersection of technology, security, and regulatory compliance.
