iven that this is a special women’s edition, what better way than to share an exciting piece of news here. Last year, I started a weekly #coffeewiththeCSuite edition on LinkedIn. I enjoy my coffee chats as my learnings were accelerated through times like this. As the CxOs share their stories, I learnt about leadership. Influence. Execution. From the best of our leaders. I realised that more people need to hear their stories. To be able to have these confidential chats with the C-suite leaders on their challenges, to have them show me their strategies and get involved, I realised I was sitting on a gold-mine. There was all this wealth of insights and it struck me one day, “why not, put all of this together? It will benefit so many people!”. I learn best by stories, and these CxOs had many to tell. I was stirred. A childhood dream that had been stuck

deep within me burst into flames. I then embarked on the arduous task of compiling all the coffee chats I’ve had over the years with the different Cyber Risk Leaders. I selected 30 C-suite executives from all over the world. One lesson imparted by a CxO from their entire twenty years of experience, multiplied by 30. That’s more than five hundred years of solid experience! All the top tips collected into a single book. I was enriched. Still, it was a long journey that took a lot of time, dedication, vision and belief. But I was determined. Before I knew it, I had a few offers from several publishers from the USA. I decided to go with our local favourite that specialises in this actual industry - the very same one that publish the same magazines that you’re now reading. I am honoured that this book will be the very first book they are taking under their wings. This is a book that has never been written in such a way before. The first of its kind.
