"I am very much a facilitator and I work very hard. In my role, I need to be resilient and creative, which matches my personality types well."

"Darktrace is the world’s leading AI company for cyber defense. We have thousands of customers worldwide, and the Enterprise Immune System is relied on to detect and fight back against cyber-attacks in real time. My role involves travelling a lot around the world and is very entrepreneurial. The starting salary for my role is £28k base + about £50k (commission)."

"I earned a BSC Hons from the globally renowned faculty of Brain Sciences at University College London. I then received an academic scholarship for my Masters at CASS business school and completed my Machine Learning qualification from Stanford university.In my role, I use my academic expertise with experience in investment, venture capital (a type of funding for a new or growing business). and artificial intelligence. It really helps to have these two different view points. I have a worked at a global technology venture capital firm, founded my own company in the Middle East, London and Monaco, and am now working to build Darktrace’s global presence.I am also pursuing a PhD in Artificial and organic intelligence and technological singularity alongside my usual work!"

" I love horses and was fully committed to being a dressage rider before I found my love for tech!"

"I could be going to onsite meetings; these are often around the Middle East, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar. I talk to clients about their networks and how to best secure their critical assets. I work with and support everyone on the team. I go through threat intelligence reports and stop breaches happening!"
