CAREER HISTORY

I am an award-winning cyber security specialist, writer, and keynote speaker whose career spans over two decades. I began my professional journey in the entertainment industry, notably working with Chris Tarrant on the global hit show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” . In 2009, I transitioned into Cyber Security, taking on the role of Chief Operations Officer and PR & Marketing Director at Titania Ltd .

Since then, I have held various positions in communications and marketing across multiple organizations, including BT, BlueVoyant, and the UK Cyber Security Council . I am the founder of Cyber Security Unity (formerly the UK Cyber Security Association), a global community dedicated to uniting the cyber security industry to combat growing threats .

My expertise lies in Cyber Security awareness, culture, and the human aspects of cyber threats . In recognition of my  contributions to the field and my advocacy for diversity and inclusion, I was awarded an MBE in King Charles III’s 2023 Birthday Honours List .
