Hands-on support
I'm Ahmed, a seasoned Information Security advisor with 14+ years of global experience in risk management, compliance, and ISO/IEC 27001 implementation and auditing.
I’ve helped over 20 ISMS programs successfully obtain and maintain ISO 27001 certification, working closely with acquired businesses and external auditors as strategic partners.
As a mentor, I support professionals at all stages—from students and career switchers to those aiming for leadership roles in cybersecurity. I offer personalized coaching, mock interviews, and strategic career guidance to help you build confidence, sharpen your focus, and navigate the cybersecurity landscape with clarity.
In my current global role, I lead initiatives that align IT security teams with internal standards, drive compliance awareness, and simplify complex security topics for both technical and non-technical audiences.
If you're looking for practical insights, structured support, and a collaborative approach to grow in cybersecurity, I’m here to help.

Through talking for only 30mins and some generous messages on Ahmed's part all during the trial period, I finally see a possible way out of my situation. I have been stuck in repeated entry level posistions in my field for almost 10 years with prior advice landing me in the same posistion as I was in before with little progress of note despite my efforts. During one video call with Ahmed he listened to my concerns, what I disliked about my current responsibilites and salary and helped guide me in direction that prior mentors on MentorCruise never mentioned to me and Copilot/Gemini doesnt have the intelligence to communicate. Even though he gave me invaluable advice during the first 24 hours and suggested I cancel my subscription since he had already given me the information I needed so I wouldnt be charged, I felt the need to let the subscription pass the trial into one month because he showed me an option that couldve saved me much time/money/suffering had I known him 2 mentors and 2 years prior. If your looking for a career change or your trying to excel on your career path Ahmed is a great mentor to talk to. I would definetely work with him again.
