  • Curated a suite of bite size e-learning modules achieving world class net promoter scores and almost 100% completion rates.
  • Hosted several external speakers who took colleagues through a variety of security awareness topics from social engineering to social networking and to becoming a human firewall.
  • Brought gamification into the organisation with Phishing tournaments, Wordle puzzles, training badges and more.

I currently live in Leamington Spa, UK with my wife. I enjoy drinking coffee, eating burgers and being outside (when it’s not too cold or wet). I love to travel, whether that is within the UK or further afield. My favourite destination to go is America, specifically San Francisco, I’m pretty obsessed with anything American.
