He previously led PwC’s Sydney-based cyber security team as a team lead, mentor, and technical cyber specialist. He personally designed and executed hundreds of bespoke offensive technical assessments and cyber uplifts for some of Australia’s biggest brands.



He prides himself on being able to not only break IT systems though – he also does the hands on building and fixing.
 Alex has been a go-to cyber specialist for Sydney’s fintech/ startup scene as a security architect – building mature, zero-trust corporate and cloud-only product environments.



He has personally operated live incident response teams for public companies performing the hands-on attack investigation, timelining, and remediation. And he filled in as a virtual CISO for one of Australia’s mid-tier banks for a little over a year.



Over the last few years Alex has continued to focus on the offensive red-team space where he excels at getting the most out of exercises by engaging closely with blue teams. As someone with experience breaking, building, and investigating, Alex is the ideal person to provide technical training to upskill defenders and help them get the most out of their tools.
