With over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, I am a trusted advisor, speaker, and author who helps organizations develop effective security awareness and behavior change programs. I currently serve as the Chief Human Risk Management Strategist at KnowBe4, the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform. I've authored two books targeting the security awareness community,"Transformational Security Awareness" (which was inducted into the Cybersecurity Canon Hall of Fame) and "The Security Culture Playbook."

My path has been a relentless pursuit of understanding how bad actors exploit human nature. My fascination for the art and science of deception began in childhood with magic tricks and mental manipulations, evolving into a mission to protect others from digital threats. As the Chief Human Risk Management Strategist at KnowBe4, I help organizations and individuals build robust defenses against the ever-evolving landscape of online deceptions.

My latest book, FAIK: A Practical Guide to Living in a World of Deepfakes, Disinformation, and AI-Generated Deceptions (Wiley: Oct 2024), tackles the fascinating and often daunting world of artificial intelligence. I explore AI's potential benefits and the darker side of its application in deception and misinformation. Through engaging storytelling and practical advice, I equip readers with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of AI-driven deception.
