FROM THE ROAD TO RESILIENCE
Have you ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed by the relentless pressure of expectations, the chaos of a fast-paced digital world, and the weight of responsibilities? No? Then congratulations – you’re already in the front group. But for those who feel the struggle, I understand you, but you can get to the front group too.
The road won’t always be smooth. There will be climbs that test your endurance, descents that require caution, and moments when you need to pause and recover. But persistence is key. And passion and purpose? They’re the fuel that will take us to the top.
Chasing a Dream – And Finding a Greater Purpose
As a young athlete, my dream was clear – to become a professional cyclist. I thrived on the freedom of the open road, the rhythm of the ride, the beauty of landscapes unfolding with every pedal stroke. But life had other plans. Whether it was misfortune (e.g. see me in red in the picture), the limits of raw talent, or my own unwavering ethical compass, my path took a different turn.
I shifted gears. My hunger for growth led me into the world of academia, where I earned degrees in business administration and economics. From there, I dived into international consulting and consumer electronics. Fast-moving, high-stakes industries that mirrored the intensity of competitive sports. Yet, something was missing. The relentless drive for improvement that had defined me as a cyclist demanded more.
Then, I found it: the fascinating world of information security.
I became captivated by the psychology of cybercrime; how malicious actors exploit human behavior to deceive individuals and infiltrate organizations. This passion propelled me into a PhD in criminology, where I studied the sophisticated techniques used by cyber offenders. But studying wasn’t enough. I wanted to counteract these threats.
Through research and real-world application, I evaluated a gamified approach to cybersecurity awareness, one that doesn’t just inform but transforms. The result? Stronger, more resilient individuals and organizations that are prepared to defend against digital deception. Because at the heart of every cybersecurity strategy, technology is only part of the equation. The real power lies in people.
Merging Passion & Purpose: A New Vision for Resilience
This relentless pursuit of resilience led me to co-found an advisory company dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations against cyber risks in an increasingly digital world. Together with my business partner, we’ve built a foundation of expertise that helps companies strengthen their security posture and protect against digital threats.
But along the way, I realized something crucial: digital resilience isn’t just about the right processes and control – it’s also about the resilience readiness of the entire human system. The same principles that sustain personal well-being in an era of constant pressure and digital overload –awareness, adaptability, and endurance – are the very ones that fortify organizations against cyber risks. Eventually being the basis of reinforcing each other.
So, I made a decision: To bring together the best of both worlds.
Today, I combine my expertise as a cybersecurity strategist with my lifelong passion for peak performance, mental strength, and physical endurance. I help leaders, teams, and individuals build resilience – not just in the digital world, but in life itself. Whether it's through leadership coaching, influence strategies, or cybersecurity training, my mission remains the same:
To help you move to the front group – stronger, smarter, and more secure.
