All views and opinions are my own and do not represent my employer. I help security awareness professionals build programmes, confidence, and community. After more than a decade leading awareness and engagement inside some of the UK’s largest retailers, I now focus on growing the people behind awareness, not just the programmes they run. That means shared learning, honest conversation, and practical skills that actually work in the real world. I’m building a community and academy for security awareness practitioners who want to go beyond compliance, understand human behaviour, and get better at influencing everyday decisions. Less box ticking, more behaviour change. My work blends experience, creativity, and people first thinking, from shaping awareness strategy and coaching internal leads, to creating learning spaces where practitioners can learn from each other.
