Building Digital Trust that CEOs, Founders, Boards Believe and Customers Feel
CEOs, Founders and Boards do not need more tools. They need clarity. I help organizations, directors, founders and CEOs see their true risk, align on what matters, and commit to a simple plan that builds digital trust and resilience.
My work spans boardrooms, trade groups, and education. With NACD I contribute to director-level guidance on cyber oversight and resilience. With the National Retail Federation’s CISO Executive Committee I help shape industry priorities that protect consumers and brand trust at scale. With the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity I engage on cross-border trust, responsible innovation, and governance that safeguards vulnerable users. I have led a major ISC2 chapter as Board President and advise Norwich University’s cybersecurity master’s program to ensure future leaders are board ready. This mix keeps my advice practical, current, and tied to outcomes.
