In this episode, I sit down with Maman, a global cybersecurity leader with 20+ years of experience helping businesses in pharma, manufacturing, and professional services turn cyber risk into strategic advantage driving over £150 million in business value through smart, effective leadership.

Maman has contributed to global initiatives like the OWASP Top 10 Agentic AI Security Risks, the World Economic Forum’s Cyber Resilience Compass, and the Cloud Controls Matrix. His executive education from Oxford, MIT, Harvard, and the Cyber Leadership Institute reflects a lifelong commitment to real-world impact and continuous learning.

We covered some crucial ground in this conversation:

3. The importance of building a strong cybersecurity culture across the organization

4. What every CISO needs to learn to lead in today’s fast-changing landscape

6. The growing role of AI—both as a threat and as a powerful tool in defense

7. Why leadership mindset, not just tools, will determine the future of cybersecurity
