About me

An IT expert from server room to boardroom

A technology consultant specialising in cybersecurity, digital forensics and cybercrime investigations, I have supported diverse organisations for over 20 years and successfully completed more than 120 consulting engagements.

What sets me apart is my combination of technical expertise and management experience. I can diagnose infrastructure and critical outages, define budgets, lead teams, drive transformation and advise executives. One point of contact can handle topics that would usually require several specialists.

My approach is to understand your real needs and deliver pragmatic, innovative solutions aligned with your business goals, with rigour, efficiency and continuous improvement. I welcome clearly scoped short- and medium-term engagements.
