About

As a cybersecurity leader in innovative tech environments, I’ve built and scaled security programs at the intersection of rapid innovation and real-world risk. My experience spans high-growth startups and complex organizations, where security must enable velocity - not slow it down.

I specialize in helping teams design pragmatic, resilient security strategies that align with business goals. From building security foundations from scratch to strengthening mature programs, I focus on practical execution: governance, risk management, technical controls, and security culture.

Through mentorship, I support aspiring and growing cybersecurity professionals in navigating modern security challenges, whether that’s breaking into the field, stepping into leadership, or learning how to balance innovation with strong security practices.

If you’re looking to accelerate your cybersecurity career with clear, actionable guidance, I’d be glad to support your journey.

Found my time with Aurelien to be of great help in gaining confidence in my new role. He was very generous with his time and great to talk with. It definitely contributed to my having much more confidence, certainty, and clarity over how to approach my job. He was the right person at the right time!

Working with Aurelien has been very helpful in my new role. I started mentorship with him to get guidance in my managerial position and to have someone I could turn to with questions and for direction. We have been working through how I can approach the people and teams I am managing and his knowledge here, and in technical information security, is top notch. This mentorship has really helped my confidence and he is a pleasant guy to work with all round.

I booked a session with Aurelien to discuss the business and operational risks of AI agents in cloud security, and he delivered exactly what I needed. As a CISO in a highly regulated environment, he understands the friction between 'Innovation' and 'Compliance' better than anyone. He gave me concrete, realistic examples of where the 'Red Line' for autonomy actually sits in the real world. Highly recommended for deep insights into Governance and Risk Management.
