- Leadership is a huge topic that is impossible to cover in a single session. So, when I was invited to speak at Teesside University, I chose to focus on the power of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). After years of leading teams, navigating pressure and scaling organisations at Net‑Defence, I’ve learned that it’s not our intention that shapes our leadership; it’s how people experience us. This is where Emotional Intelligence (EQ) shifts from a soft skill into a genuine superpower. Why self-awareness is the foundation of effective leadership People experience us through our behaviour, our emotional signals and our default style, whether ...read more
- Cyber attacks across the UK are no longer rare or isolated events. In recent years, they have become a persistent and increasingly sophisticated threat affecting organisations across every sector. From retail and transport to local government and critical infrastructure, high-profile incidents have demonstrated that no organisation is immune.

- Over the past decade, there have been some welcome shifts in how additional needs, both physical and mental, are recognised and accommodated. From cinemas offering relaxed screenings, to video games providing increased accessibility settings, to workplaces speaking more openly about mental health and neurodiversity, awareness has undoubtedly grown. However, inclusion is still too often seen as an afterthought. Those who do understand its value know it is part of good design, good culture, and good outcomes. Cyber security is one area, for example, that still lags behind the conversation. Security tools are often designed with a narrow idea of the ...read more
- Most organisations in this era of hyper-connectivity have vast, intricate ecosystems of suppliers, software vendors, cloud providers, and digital partners. While this interconnectivity drives efficiency, innovation, and scalability, it simultaneously introduces cyber supply chain risk. The supply chain is often the path of least resistance for sophisticated cyber criminals. By compromising a single trusted supplier who may have lower security defences, attackers can gain access to numerous high-value targets.
