Could you tell us about your professional journey and experiences that led you to join CybaVerse? What was it that set CybaVerse apart as your next career move?
I have built a dynamic career in cyber security, progressing from roles in technical support and analysis to leadership positions, such as SOC Regional Manager at Kroll. My experience encompasses managing diverse teams, leading incident response engagements, and driving operational efficiency through scalability and automation. Throughout my journey, I have gained expertise in digital forensics, incident response, defensive cyber security operations and offensive security.
My academic foundation in Computing with Networking laid the groundwork for my specialisation. Over the years, I earned several certifications, including GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA) and Certified Forensic Examiner (GCFE), reflecting my commitment to my own professional growth.
How would you say that your educational and professional experiences prior to CybaVerse have contributed to your success in your current role with us as CTO?
Having a background in networking provided a solid foundation for my career. My drive to continually learn enabled me to pursue industry certifications, which helped me refine and expand my skill set. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of learning from talented professionals across various organisations.
Now, I feel that I can truly make a difference as we begin to grow CybaVerse even further and take our company to the next level, especially with the addition of CybaVerse AI.
What unique skills, experiences, or perspectives do you bring to your role at CybaVerse?

In your opinion, what sets CybaVerse apart as a workplace? How does the company promote a positive and inclusive culture?
The culture is something that I have never seen before. Everyone has a common goal, and we all want to make CybaVerse the best it can be, this can be seen in how people go about their day to day. Everyone really wants to help and achieve big things together.

Always – study never stops in Cyber. You must constantly learn and keep on top of the ever-changing industry.
How do you typically like to spend your time away from work? Do you have any specific passions or interests?
Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active by going to the gym and spending time training and competing with my gundog. I’m a big fan of cooking and I would love to see as many countries as I can, taking the opportunity to do so as much as possible.
If you could offer one piece of advice to a new employee starting at CybaVerse, what would it be?
Be curious and innovative – CybaVerse fosters and loves this about people. This enables people to really stretch and deliver things they are passionate about.
