SUMMARY
I am very passionate about security, emerging technologies and the human potential. I have an upbeat character, am
professional, reliable and get along easily with people. I excel in learning new skills, stakeholder management, thinking
through complex systems, writing and speaking in public. I have a strong sense of morality, am people- and detailoriented, a perfectionist & idealist, and have an entrepreneurial spirit. I am highly reflective, interested in social dynamics,
proactive and naturally thrive in leadership positions or where my set of skills can make a unique contribution. I have a
track record in cyber security where IT meets the human factor, with a focus on security awareness, cyber security policy
making, first responder-ship and critical infrastructure. I really enjoy food, studies, research, reading (non-fiction) books,
cooking & baking, the Japanese language, table top games, flower arranging and ballroom dancing.
