1. Tell us about your role at Darktrace. What are the cyber threat issues you work on in a typical day?

As SVP of Strategic Engagements and Threats, I speak with senior and C-suite leaders daily about what matters most to their businesses and operations and help outline risk and CyberSecurity strategies to strengthen business resilience. I focus on explaining current threat trends and emerging and next-generation threats, working closely with the Darktrace Subject Matter Experts team.

I also engage with the broader security leadership community through Executive Roundtables by participating or moderating.
