I’m An Unexpected & Exciting Choice

You might wonder why I’d be an interesting presenter or if I’d make for a memorable event.

I’m grateful to be a contributing member of the World-Class Information Security Team at Kraken, an organization on the bleeding edge of many things, including financial disruption, technology innovation, and distributed/remote work culture (across nearly 80 countries).

I design for failure—on purpose. I hover where risk, resilience engineering, and human behavior collide as my primary charter is regent and champion of the Kraken value of being “Productively Paranoid”— as a design principle and a survival trait.

I’m a systems thinker with instincts that naturally cultivate constant improvement and challenge teams to focus on the productive part of being Productively Paranoid, by broadening perspective, outpacing risk, interrogating ease, and owning our exposures before they own us—and shape habits with the presumption that mistakes aren’t an if but a when.

Also, untethered paranoia will destroya.

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 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 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 Transmit your interest via hi (at) resilience dot sh and LinkedIn or Twitter/X oh and here’s an outdated timeline of some of my work history for kicks.
