More than a thousand times in front of a room
First talk at sixteen. Since then, more than a thousand engagements in front of audiences that often had nothing in common.
I gave my first talk at sixteen. Since then, more than a thousand talks, training sessions, workshops and public engagements — in front of boards, executive rooms, student groups, technical teams and citizen assemblies.
A good talk leaves the room with one thing they will do on Monday morning. That is the bar I hold myself to: every session ends with something concrete, never with a threat list designed to frighten.
What people recognise most is the ability to adapt the delivery without diluting the substance — in front of a municipal council of elected citizens as readily as a team of security architects.

What an attacker sees of your organisation
Leadership · General audience
A live reconstruction of the reconnaissance phase from public sources. The effect is immediate: the room sees what is already reachable without breaking anything.
AI is already inside. The question is where.
Leadership · IT teams
What automation genuinely saves, and the attack surface it creates. Prompt injection, context leakage, over-privileged agents.
Governing a non-profit without burning out
Boards · Non-profits
The line between governing and managing, bylaws nobody has revisited, and accountability that ends up dictating the mission.
Growth breaks structures
Entrepreneurs · Managers
Why companies rarely fail because of the idea, and what to put in place before growth exposes everything that was improvised.
Privacy law without a lawyer
SMBs · Non-profits · Municipalities
The real obligations, what exposes you most, and where to start with no legal department and no compliance budget.
Building a security culture that outlives the consultant
Leadership · Managers
How an organisation moves from compliance endured to a practice that holds without permanent external supervision.
