What was your biggest challenge transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship, and how did you overcome it?

Moving from a structured corporate role to entrepreneurship was both a challenge and a revelation. In a corporate setting, roles and processes are clearly defined, but as an entrepreneur, I had to juggle everything, right from strategy and execution to operations and growth, simultaneously. The biggest hurdle I faced was establishing credibility. Without the backing of an established brand, trust had to be built from the ground up. The solution lay in delivering real results and positioning the business as an authority. Thought leadership, strategic networking, and content-driven marketing played a huge role. By focusing on high-value partnerships and performance-driven campaigns, we created a strong presence in a competitive market. Adaptability was equally crucial. Unlike corporate marketing, where strategies follow structured plans, entrepreneurship demands agility in reading market shifts, adjusting strategies on the fly, and optimising for sustainable growth. Running two successful businesses for several years taught me that success isn’t just about launching campaigns; it’s about creating an ecosystem where data-driven decision-making, brand credibility, and customer engagement work in harmony. Once the businesses had scaled successfully, I stepped away, knowing they were thriving. The lessons learnt continue to shape my approach to marketing, including building scalable growth models, leveraging digital transformation, and positioning brands for long-term success.

What’s the next big shift in cybersecurity, and what role will marketing play?

The cybersecurity landscape is shifting rapidly, with AI-driven threats, deepfake scams, and nation-state cyber warfare making attacks more sophisticated. Businesses must rethink proactive threat intelligence as attackers leverage AI to scale faster than ever. This makes AI-powered cybersecurity solutions essential for real-time threat detection and neutralisation, while zero-trust security frameworks become the new standard. Marketing will play a crucial role in driving awareness and education. Security leaders rely on expert content, making thought leadership, SEO-driven strategies, and interactive formats like podcasts and live threat updates essential. Brands that educate and empower will shape the future of cybersecurity.

How do you build trust and authenticity in cybersecurity marketing?

Marketing in cybersecurity is all about trust, credibility, and risk mitigation. Organisations don’t just buy security tools; they invest in protection and reliability. That’s why authenticity, transparency, and education are at the core of my approach. I focus on thought leadership rather than direct selling. Instead of just promoting features, I educate the market on evolving threats, attack tactics, and defence strategies. Research-driven blogs, whitepapers, and SEO-optimised content ensure we engage buyers at the right stage. Community engagement is another key factor. Collaborating with CISOs, security analysts, and researchers through webinars and panel discussions builds credibility. Most importantly, I avoid fear-driven marketing. Instead, I use real-world case studies and actionable insights to empower businesses with confidence.

How does writing fiction influence your marketing approach, and are there parallels between storytelling and creating compelling campaigns?

Writing fiction has deeply influenced my approach to marketing, particularly in how I craft compelling narratives. At its core, both marketing and storytelling aim to connect with an audience emotionally while providing a clear resolution. In cybersecurity marketing, this means transforming complex technical concepts into relatable, engaging stories. Just as a novel has a protagonist (the customer), an antagonist (cyber threats), and a hero (the security solution), marketing campaigns follow a similar structure. Through storytelling, I humanise cybersecurity, often perceived as intimidating, by showcasing its real-world applications and benefits. Whether through blog content, whitepapers, or ad campaigns, I focus on crafting messages that resonate emotionally and intellectually with the audience. Writing also sharpens my persuasive communication skills, enabling me to guide customers through a journey—identifying their pain points, demonstrating the risks they face, and offering tailored solutions. Ultimately, storytelling is a tool that helps educate, empower, and influence customers in meaningful ways.
