Need an energizing facilitator/MC/keynote speaker for your next event or conference? Wonder why I’d be an interesting choice as a presenter?

I design + operate human-first, AI-supported security enablement platforms that reduce preventable risk across organizations. My work focuses on helping teams notice early signals, ask without fear + act with confidence turning awareness into real decisions while producing continuous, audit-ready evidence at scale and protecting their bottom lines.

Often, people don’t guess the most powerful tool I use every day: telling great stories.

I’m great at live, in-person, streaming, and recorded presentations.

Each is unique, bent to the will of your Board, Team, and/or Topic.

  • Board Presentations are excitement-driven and open up diverse audiences to new ideas.
  • Team Presentations are fun, moving, focused on transforming something.
  • Topic-Driven Presentations are bent to your will, such as:
    • Resilience Engineering : Armor Your Business & People For Unplanned Events
    • Digital Assets : Landing On The Moons of Financial Futures
    • Whoops Upside Yer Head : Threat Modeling for the Masses
    • Applied AI/Machine Learning for Everyday People and Business
    • Rising Tide Raises All Boats : Neurodiversity on Teams
  • And lofty stuff, like creativity, engagement, and team-building in light, surprisingly memorable ways.

The majority of my presentations were captured at hacking and information security conferences and are outnumbered by private ones that weren’t.

So, here are few highlights to try and transmit a sense of my style, in order below: recently presenting at Career Day at my son’s school, lovely note from a discriminating 7th grader (tough crowd I’ll take the W), and some presentation samples.

–> Please get in touch. I’ll make your day at the very least and, if we’re well-aligned, a memorable event for your team. Transmit your interest viahi (at) resilience dot sh and LinkedIn or Twitter/X oh and here’s an outdated timeline of some work history for kicks.
