I take on cybersecurity where it really breaks: governance and the human factor. Making the subject clear, for leaders and for the general public alike.
The journey
Entrepreneur, author and CISO, I have made cybersecurity a craft of clarity: making it readable and actionable, for leaders and for the general public alike. What interests me about technology is not its complexity, it is what it makes possible when it genuinely serves people. That is the point of my book « Être en cybersécurité » (Éditions Spinelle), written to make the subject accessible far beyond the industry.
Today I am CISO of the international group Mobilexpense and GRC Lead at Cresco Cybersecurity (Integrity360 group), one of Europe's leading cybersecurity firms. Day to day, 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 true risk posture, from finance to SaaS, from sport to luxury.
Alongside this, I founded the Cyber Academy, where I train hundreds of professionals on the standards that matter, through certification tracks designed with PECB. I speak at events such as TEDx, PECB, Agoria and Les Engagés, and I am based in Gran Canaria.
Most governance failures are not technical. They are structural, cultural, and deeply human.
My conviction
What I have learned in more than 15 years in the field: dashboards turn green while the blind spots grow, audits get signed off while accountability dissolves. That is the problem I work on every day, and the reason this site exists: a French-language cybersecurity press review, jargon-free, to understand what is really at stake behind the incidents. I also explore the human side of the subject in a second book in progress, « Cyberpsychologie, se connaître pour ne plus se faire hacker ».
