I believe the best security insights come from honest, substantive conversations between practitioners who’ve actually wrestled with these challenges in the field.

Is there a security topic you’re wrestling with that needs deeper analysis? The content here is driven by real problems practitioners face—if there’s an incident, trend, or decision that deserves more than surface-level takes, I want to hear about it.

Or maybe it’s one of those things we all navigate but rarely discuss openly? The messy reality that academic frameworks and vendor white papers gloss over? The trade-offs we actually make versus what the compliance checkbox says we should do? The elephant in the room that everyone accepts but won’t address publicly?

The frameworks and academic theory work great in perfect worlds with perfect budgets and perfect organizations. But most security practitioners—especially those wearing both IT and security hats—are making real decisions with real constraints. If there’s something you and your team know is true but rarely gets honest discussion beyond closed doors, I want to hear about it. These are exactly the conversations that help the next generation understand why we do things the way we do.

Whether you’re looking for a speaker who can cut through the noise, need a strategic perspective on a complex security decision, or simply want to discuss an industry trend beyond what’s flooding LinkedIn—I’m interested in connecting with serious professionals.
