I take cybersecurity where it actually breaks: governance and the human factor. Making it clear, for executives and the general public alike.
The path
Entrepreneur, author and CISO, I’ve made cybersecurity a craft of clarity: making it legible and actionable, for executives and the general public alike. What interests me in technology isn’t its complexity, it’s what it enables when it genuinely serves people. That’s the point of my book “Être en cybersécurité” (Éditions Spinelle).
Today, I design and challenge the governance and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NIS2, DORA) that organisations rely on to stay compliant, resilient and honest about their real risk posture — from finance to SaaS, from sport to luxury. In parallel, I founded the Cyber Academy, where I train hundreds of professionals on the standards that matter, through certifying tracks built with PECB.
“Most governance failures aren’t technical. They’re structural, cultural, and deeply human.”
What I believe
What I’ve learned over 15+ years in the field: dashboards go green while blind spots grow, audits get signed off while accountability dilutes. I also explore the human side of the subject in a second book in the works, “Cyberpsychologie, se connaître pour ne plus se faire hacker”.
