About me

I have spent much of my career understanding how people make decisions under pressure, and what goes wrong when they do.

My focus is decisions where mistakes are rarely reversible — at the intersection of trust, time pressure, and high stakes.

My background includes work as CISO and with security awareness, where I have seen firsthand how trust-based systems can be exploited, and how even experienced and competent people make decisions they later regret.

What interests me most is not the technical aspects of security, but the human ones: Why do we act the way we do when stressed? How can we build structures that help us when we do not have time to think? And increasingly: How do we maintain meaningful human control as AI systems take on more decision-making roles?

Background

  • -Experience as CISO (Chief Information Security Officer)
  • -Founded and led Awareness Security
  • -Focus on human factors in security and decision-making
  • -Developing the Human in Control framework for AI governance

How I work

Calm and structured

I believe in creating space for reflection, not more stress. The goal is clarity, not fear.

Response over prediction

I focus on observing what has changed and responding consistently, not on predicting what will happen.

Practically oriented

Theories are useful, but they must work in practice. I focus on structures that can actually be used when it matters.

You remain responsible

Systems support judgment, they do not replace it. You remain responsible for your decisions.

My approach

I do not sell fear or easy solutions. My goal is to give you structures and perspectives that make you better equipped to respond correctly when information is incomplete and pressure is high.

It is about standing stronger. Not about becoming paranoid. Not about predicting the future. But about responding to reality as it unfolds.

Connect

I write regularly about decision quality, AI governance, and the Human in Control framework on LinkedIn and X.
