I’m the Global Head of Research for Consulting at WithSecure. Originally from the UK, I graduated from the University of Southampton with a Masters in Computer Science. After multiple internships in embedded software engineering, I pivoted into the cybersecurity industry, first at MWR InfoSecurity, before becoming part of F-Secure Consulting, now WithSecure, as a result of the acquisition of MWR by F-Secure. Prior to my current role running our security research, I ran WithSecure’s cloud security consulting team for five years.
Since joining the cybersecurity industry, I’ve focused on offensive security testing in agile, fast-paced and cloud-native environments and organisations. More recently, I’ve been putting that experience to use helping organisations validate and enhance their attack detection capabilities, particularly in the cloud space. I’m also focusing a lot of my efforts into researching and developing novel approaches to cloud security, and driving the strategic direction of cloud security inside WithSecure.
These days, I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, and spend most of my spare time either out and about with a camera, or trying (and failing) to master the Danish language.
