I had the privilege to be working with Fred since he took the Chief Security Officer (CSO) role, covering North & East-Europe for Palo Alto Networks. I know Fred well as he came to Romania and Bulgaria to deliver presentations in front of customers during events and meetings; then I continued to stay in touch with him and benefit out of the value he brings to my customers anytime I ask him to help. I saw Fred presenting on stage in front of big audience, I saw him in 1-to-1 meetings with CISO’s from different verticals and I saw him connecting with customers during casual meetings; no matter the situation or the setup, Fred always makes a strong impression and handles himself professionally, while always being ready to share from his experience, explain and dig deeper into subjects that effectively captivate the attention of any CISO. With his patience and experience, charisma and enthusiasm, I can tell that there is no cybersecurity subject he can’t cover. GDPR, NIS Directive, machine learning and AI, risk management, Security Operations Centre (SOC), cloud security, Zero Trust model, threat intelligence – these are just few of the topics I remember Fred vividly discussing with IT executives in my territory, winning the status of Trusted Advisor for them. With Fred in front of the customer, success is guaranteed! I would conclude by saying Fred is a dream co-worker!

Fred is the first CISO I am working with so closely. I have had at the beginning some expectations on what to expect from CISO position, but Fred beaten my expectations and brought them to the next level. Fred is always professional. He is always very well prepared and as he is mainly key note speaker or panel lead, he requests briefings prior any event he is asked for. That leads to the level, that any customers in any countries having great story and even more, they are active C-level audience with Q&A at the end. I am getting requests to get Fred on stage year over year. Fred is always prepared with continuous story which is linked to the story a year ago. This makes it consistent and easy for the audience to track. And mainly, he is great colleague and friend to me. I feel really honoured to have the opportunity to work with Fred and I am looking forward for more years ahead of us.
