Executive MBA complete

I’m excited to share that I have graduated with Excellence from the Executive MBA program at AGSM UNSW Business School. This transformative 2-year journey has been as challenging as it has been rewarding, redefining my approach to strategy, leadership and execution.

Throughout the program, I had an incredible opportunity to bring theory into practice – collaborating with a diverse cohort of leaders to work on real-world challenges across Australian industries such as technology, manufacturing, financial services and retail. These experiences not only honed my analytical skills but also deepened my appreciation for applying business concepts in evolving fields like cybersecurity and AI.

A pivotal part of my journey was the capstone strategic consulting project with First Nations organisations. This experience reshaped my perspective on culture and inclusivity.

The international exchanges were equally transformative. Spending time in Shanghai at Fudan University and completing a semester at Yale School of Management allowed me to engage with global leaders, enhancing my understanding of cross-cultural leadership. The practical case studies and strategic projects I completed in these environments reinforced the significance of a global mindset in today’s interconnected world.

I also had an opportunity to focus on social impact and the for-purpose sector in collaboration with the Centre for Social Impact and received the Professor Wanbil Lee Prize for Ethical Leadership and the Responsible Management Prize for my work.

With courses ranging from accounting and marketing to negotiations, I am grateful for every lesson learnt, every challenge overcome and every connection made along the way. I look forward to leveraging these insights to drive innovation, inspire ethical leadership and create meaningful impact.

Australian CISO of the Year award finalist

Exciting news! I’m honoured to be named a finalist in the Australian Cyber Awards 2025 for CISO of the Year 🎉

This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of my incredible team, as well as the support from colleagues, partners and the wider community.

Cybersecurity is a collective effort and I’m grateful to contribute to an industry that plays such a vital role in keeping organisations and people safe.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey – I couldn’t have done it without you. And congratulations to all the finalists!

Cyber risk quantification

I really enjoyed the cyber risk quantification workshop led by Richard Seiersen, co-author of How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk.

During the session, Richard broke down risk quantification, focusing on identifying the risks most likely to cause significant business losses where assets, threats and vulnerabilities intersect.

I’m also glad to receive his book for correctly estimating cost in our the discussions. It’s one of the most influential books in security: it challenges subjective risk assessments, offering practical frameworks for using data, probability and economics to drive smarter security decisions.
