hi all, I'm Dan :-)

I consider myself a technology leader with extensive experience in cybersecurity and technological research. More than anything, I like to be challenged with topics out of my comfort zone, learn and solve them while grouping the best minds to team with me. I‘m especially interested in the Technology-Business-Security triangle. I am constantly challenged by how technology can solve business problems, while transforming the ‘security’ component into a new business opportunity. In my current role as Director of Security Research for Accenture Labs, I identify and evaluate the most innovative and disruptive technologies, mature them into first of a kind capabilities to work in scale at the world's largest organizations. While I am avid for almost any technological domain, I am currently researching the areas of Application Security, Cloud Security, Data Mesh, Digital Twins and its adjacent fields. Naturally, AI, Data Science and other types of analytics plays a significant role in achieving results in the types of challenges we tackle.
