Helping startups, investors and growth companies navigate cybersecurity, expansion and business growth in fast-evolving environments.
From security posture and strategic positioning
to market entry, commercial development and
long-term resilience. An independent advisor operating where
technical decisions, business strategy and trust converge.
Founder of Orbiting Rocks.
I work along two parallel tracks. On one side, cybersecurity advisory: from security strategy and risk to assessment, due diligence and fractional CISO support. On the other, strategic advisory for growth companies: market entry, growth decisions, counterparty evaluation and board-level trust. Different rooms, same lens.
Cybersecurity as a business dimension, not a technical silo. From strategy and risk to posture assessment, diligence readiness and ongoing executive guidance. Translating security into something leadership, investors and counterparties can actually evaluate.
Helping companies make cybersecurity decisions aligned with business reality, growth stage and operational risk.
Support on security strategy, risk prioritization, governance and decision-making. From defining practical security roadmaps to aligning security investments with business objectives and stakeholder expectations.
Identifying weaknesses, operational gaps and structural risks before they become business problems.
Assessment of security posture, operational maturity and resilience across processes, infrastructure and organizational practices. Designed to provide leadership with a clear understanding of exposure, priorities and next actions.
Preparing companies for investor scrutiny, enterprise procurement and strategic partnerships.
Support during fundraising, M&A, enterprise onboarding or partnership discussions where cybersecurity becomes part of the evaluation process. Translating technical reality into business-readable assurance.
A senior cybersecurity advisor embedded alongside leadership teams when strategic guidance is needed without a full-time executive structure.
Ongoing executive-level advisory on governance, risk framing, incident preparedness, stakeholder communication and long-term security direction.
Growth decisions read through a cyber, trust and resilience lens. Market entry, expansion choices, counterparty evaluation and board-level conversations where credibility and operational risk shape the outcome as much as the business case itself.
Helping companies expand into new countries and markets with the right strategic positioning, partnerships and operational approach.
Support on international expansion strategies, local market understanding, business introductions, positioning and commercial readiness. From identifying opportunities to navigating local expectations, trust dynamics and market-entry complexity.
Helping leadership teams navigate strategic decisions where growth, risk and credibility intersect.
Advisory on expansion choices, business prioritization, organizational scaling and high-impact decisions where cybersecurity, trust and operational resilience influence long-term outcomes.
Evaluating the trustworthiness, operational maturity and strategic fit of external partners and counterparties.
Support in assessing distributors, vendors, strategic alliances, acquisition targets or ecosystem relationships through governance, security and operational risk lenses.
Advisory for boards and executive teams on trust, resilience and strategic exposure in evolving business environments.
An outside perspective for leadership conversations involving cyber risk, governance, organizational credibility, investor perception and strategic resilience.
The work changes shape depending on who is in the room. The lens stays the same.
From pre-seed to Series B. When security is becoming a real conversation and the company is preparing to raise or sell into enterprise. How you handle it decides what comes next.
Venture funds, family offices, corporate investors. When the deal flow includes companies whose security claims need an outside read, or whose expansion plans, partners and counterparties sit at the centre of the thesis. A binary yes/no rarely captures what's actually being underwritten.
Established companies entering phases where growth, expansion and strategic positioning require a more integrated approach to trust, cybersecurity and business decision-making. From market-entry initiatives and partnership development to executive advisory, due diligence and security strategy, the work focuses on helping organizations grow with credibility and resilience.
Whether the question is a cybersecurity decision, an expansion move, a counterparty to evaluate or a strategic choice ahead, the best time to bring in an outside view is before the conversation starts. A 30-minute call costs nothing and usually reveals whether a deeper engagement makes sense.
Cold introductions are welcome. Please mention the context so I can come prepared.
