Bridging the Security Gap with Business Teams

I help security teams create security champions in Marketing, Sales, and beyond without being the "Department of No"

Breaking down technical barriers

Security teams face a persistent challenge:

Business teams like Marketing and Sales need to move quickly and innovate. They often end up adopting new tools and processes without considering security implications. Each initiative potentially expands your attack surface. But restricting their momentum isn't an option.

That's where I come in.

My background in both business operations and security gives me the perspective to translate security concepts into practical actions. I deliver awareness training that resonates with business teams using language they understand and approaches they'll want to embrace — not because they have to, but because they see the value for themselves.

About me

Hi, I'm Serena! After years of driving marketing and business initiatives, I discovered an uncomfortable truth:

The very strategies that helped us move quickly were creating security vulnerabilities that nobody was addressing. All too often, security teams were left silently cleaning up the mess behind the scenes.

My mission is simple, really. I help security teams and business units speak the same language.

I'm not interested in pointing fingers or implementing cumbersome processes. I focus on creating practical security awareness that fits into existing workflows.

When you work with me, you're getting someone who understands the pressures of quarterly targets and launch deadlines, while also recognizing the critical importance of protecting your organization's assets and reputation.

Because when security feels accessible rather than intimidating, everyone becomes part of your defense strategy.

My approach: Code switching

My awareness training isn't about technical jargon or scary scenarios. It's about creating lasting cultural change. I speak the language of business while upholding your security standards. Instead of simply identifying problems, I provide practical solutions that respect both business needs and security requirements.

As I've worked within business units, I understand their tools, workflows, and pressures. More importantly, I know exactly where vulnerabilities typically hide:

Third-party platforms with excessive permissions
Shadow IT in project execution
Customer data handling in automation workflows
Abandoned digital assets from past initiatives
Insecure external collaborations and asset transfers

I know security isn't a barrier designed to prevent action. It's there to guide us how to achieve our goals without compromising the organization. Once I help your teams see security through this lens, they'll never view it as an obstacle again.

Here's how I help teams build a security mindset
