CYBER LEADERS ON THE MOVE – Untold Stories of Visionaries shaping the Cyber World
Since its founding, CLI has trained cyber leaders from more than 47 countries, cutting through genders, cultures, geographies, and industries. Our ambitious journey — to build a global cohesive global community of 10 000 cyber leaders who actively collaborate to create a safer digital world — has connected us with some incredible global change-makers.
From the bustling Nairobi, to the charming Geneva, from the megacity of Mumbai to the Fijian Archipelagos, these remarkable stories have inspired the cyber community to dream beyond any perceived limitations.
Here are some of our most remarkable alumni going beyond the call of duty in the fight against the menace of cybercrime.
Ashwin Ram
Cybersecurity Evangelist, Check Point
Our inaugural story features the charismatic Ashwin Ram, who boasts more than 15 years on the frontlines of cyber defense. Ashwin’s journey, who spent part of his childhood growing up in Lakeba, a remote island in Fiji’s Southern Lau Archipelago, comprised of six villages with only two vehicles in his time, is deeply inspiring to say the least.
Director of Global Cyber Threat Intelligence, Nike
At 14, Noureen stripped her home PC down, carefully studied dozens of individual components, and then rebuilt the PC. From that moment, her tech career started. Noureen went on to defy incredible odds, migrating to the USA at a young age, and accelerating herself through the ranks to the Director of Global Cyber Threat Intelligence at Nike. Noureen’s journey proves the remarkable power of relentless focus to achieve goals previously deemed unreachable.
Possessing a rare combination of deep leadership experience, clarity of thought, and humility, Georges is one of the most decorated CISOs out there. During his stellar career, spanning different geographies and changing times, he held executive and advisory roles at major global brands like Etihad Airways, Thales, IBM, Airbus, and the World Economic Forum. The Childhood lessons in empathy and hard work continue to push Georges forward.
Growing up in Wales, Natasha was acutely aware she was different as one of only three black/mixed-race kids at school. But Natasha would soon turn her proverbial lemons into lemonade. The absence of a relatable role model instilled an unrelenting quest for self-improvement. Now Cyber Security Consulting Partner at KPMG Natasha has become the mentor to emerging female leaders she never had.
Born and raised the UK, Joss’s love for cybersecurity was birthed within the Royal Air Force (RAF), which she joined at a young age. She spent almost two decades across multiple mission-critical roles within the RAF, working on the cutting edge of IT security, learning techniques to identify and exploit physical and technical vulnerabilities. The adversities she faced at a young age instilled bottomless quest for self-improvement and empathy.
Global Chair of OWASP and Security Relations Leader APJ, ANZ region at Snyk
Vandana learnt the importance of competing against herself at a young age. Whilst in college, Vandana dabbled in networking computers and routers and then pursued an MBA. Vandana built her impressive career across global tech giants like Wipro, IBM, and Accenture. But what is most inspiring about Vandana is her selflessness, championing diversity on the global stage, founding InfoSec Kids, and most recently being appointed Chair of OWASP.
Cyber leaders who participate in our flagship executive courses — Cyber Leadership Program (CLP) and Cyber Strategy and Transformation Program (CSTP) — are required to participate in strategy presentation competitions. Why do we gamify cyber strategy design and presentation? Because as countless studies show, the fastest path to mastery is through doing. These competitions reinforce strategy design, leadership, stakeholder engagement, and board communication skills — essentials to succeed in the high-pressure CISO role. The following winners of these highly contested competitions rigorously tied their cyber strategies to business goals, ruthlessly prioritized high-impact initiatives, defined clear road maps, and presented their strategies with clarity, persuasion, and impact.
