Back in the 90s, while most kids were busy playing Doom, he was busy trying to mod it — and accidentally discovered the fascinating world of "hacking". What started as teenage curiosity turned into a lifelong passion for technology, security, and making the internet a little less scary for everyone.

Today, he’s the co-founder of Fox&Fish Cyberdefense, where he leads a sharp team of ethical hackers with one mission: helping organisations defend themselves against the ever-evolving threat landscape. As a Cybersecurity Evangelist, he believes that awareness is the strongest firewall — which is why he spends a good part of his time giving keynotes, workshops, and training sessions that translate complex cyber risks into relatable stories and practical actions.

Before launching Fox&Fish, he built a strong background in digital transformation and digital strategy, bridging the gap between business and technology. That mix of tech know-how and strategic insight allows him to connect with both the IT crowd and the boardroom — sometimes even at the same table.

Driven by a personal mission to make the internet a better place, he advocates for a world where cybersecurity is not just an IT issue but a shared responsibility. Expect clear language, a few laughs, and the occasional uncomfortable truth about your password habits.
