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.
5 out of 5 stars
Absolutely worth having as a mentor. Has been helping me set foot into the cybersecurity GRC field by creating a tailored plan. Discussed my experiences with me and just after the first meeting, had created a skills gap analysis and a comprehensive development plan. Has definitely helped me to stay focused and learn with a direction and purpose. Feeling more and more confident in my abilities thanks to his guidance!

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.
