Cyber Security Leader & Security by Design Advocate

I am an experienced cybersecurity leader with a track record of anticipating emerging cyber threats and translating complex security challenges into actionable strategies for both technical and non-technical audiences. Results-driven with a strong ambition to champion and operationalize security-by-design principles across the organization. Expert in designing, operationalizing, and owning innovative security solutions and processes that deliver measurable impact. Frequent speaker at industry events and published author, committed to advancing the field of cybersecurity through innovation and knowledge sharing.

I have worked on both offensive and defensive sides of Cyber Security and have a history of explaining and anticipating emerging cyber threats and solutions. I am based in Switzerland, with previous experience in Denmark, the U.S., and France.

I work for SDX Security and teach Cyber Security at ETH Zurich. In the past I worked for Accenture Security, Swisscom, NSS Labs, Secunia, and ISS X-Force.

Teaching Cyber Security at ETH Zurich is a formidable and rewarding activity that forces me to convey complexity using concise thoughts and understandable language.

Aviation, both fixed-wing and helicopter, is my passion, and I find inspiration in its relentless pursuit of safety and security in a demanding environment.
