        I worked with Ayman at MasterClass & Emeritus. I highly recommend working with his firm to do a risk audit that generates actionable prioritized tasks based on business risk to improve your security posture. He is great for both early stage and late stage startups.

        Ayman is knowledgeable on security and up-to-date. He helped prioritize the always difficult task of security TODOs without bullshit or being salesy. He pushed me when I needed to be without being annoying. He explained things well, answered general questions independent of cloud work.
Jonathan Mortensen

        Ayman is outstanding because he takes the time to understand your business and help define both immediate and long-term security needs. Security is an incredibly nuanced topic and Ayman crafts practical solutions that fit within your budget and timeframe.

        No matter the task, or situation, in two years of working with Ayman he never once let me down, and always delivered. Good security specialists are hard to find, guys like Ayman are rarer still.

I have worked on both sides of the fences, from large Enterprise Security Teams to Small SaaS Startups.


✅Compliance: I have helped companies with compliance and certification efforts including SOC 2 and ISO.


👨🏼‍🚒Incident Response: I have run firsthand incident response for companies several times in multiple scenarios, including internal and external investigations. I also understand the nuances and importance of having a well executed and rehearsed IR/Communication plan as well keeping leadership informed to help make the right decisions.


🛣️Roadmaps: I have a founder’s mentality and product management mindset and understand the difficulty of managing priorities in Engineering. I’ve put together multiple security roadmaps and budgets and have worked with product leaders to influence their product roadmaps.


🫱🏽‍🫲🏽Team Building: Expert in hiring and recruiting technical and skilled leaders and ICs. As someone with a technical and leadership background and entrepreneur, I know very well the importance of hiring and how to screen people, ask the right questions, and measure their soft and hard skills. I have helped and led the hiring of CISO’s, Directors, and ICs.


I am also an 📖author, 📰writer, 🎙️podcast host, and 🗣️public speaker.
