Speaking
On Stage and in the Room
Thirteen years inside the problem gives you something most speakers on security and compliance don't have: a practitioner's view from every level of scale.
I speak at executive conferences, industry summits, board briefings, and leadership programs. My talks are grounded in what I have seen firsthand: programs in practice, at organizations where the stakes were real and the margin for error was narrow. Not frameworks in theory.
I am currently available for keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, and closed-door executive briefings. If the topic intersects with cybersecurity, compliance, leadership, or building companies in high-growth markets, reach out.
Topics
Compliance Is Not Security
Most organizations treat compliance as the destination. It is the floor. This talk breaks down what compliance frameworks actually measure, and what it genuinely takes to build a secure organization, not just an audit-ready one.
Best for: Board audiences, C-suite, executive leadership teams
The Future of Compliance Infrastructure
Manual, episodic compliance is a structural problem, not a resource problem. This talk covers how AI is replacing audit-prep scrambles with continuous posture awareness, what that shift means for regulated industries in high-growth markets, and what organizations need to do now to stay ahead of tightening frameworks.
Best for: Technology and risk leaders, financial services, healthcare, critical infrastructure
Security Leadership at the Executive Level
The gap between what security teams know and what boards hear is where organizations get hurt. This talk is for security leaders who need to translate complex risk into board-level decisions, and for executives who need to know what questions to actually be asking.
Best for: CISOs, senior security leaders, executive leadership programs
Building in Emerging Markets: The Southeast Asia Opportunity
Southeast Asia's regulated industries are growing faster than the compliance infrastructure supporting them. This talk covers what that gap looks like on the ground, what it takes to build a technology company into that market, and what the next decade of security and compliance looks like for the region.
Best for: Investors, founders, technology and policy leaders in Asia-Pacific
What Federal and Fortune 500 Security Programs Teach You About Accountability
Thirteen years across federal agencies and enterprise organizations at every level of scale. This talk draws on what actually works, and what consistently fails, in large-scale security programs, and what those lessons mean for building more accountable, outcome-driven security teams.
Best for: Security practitioners, program leaders, enterprise technology organizations
