Great talking with Christophe. He came in and wrapped things up in a pretty bow for me. I have indeed been stuck on this path of pursuing entry-level positions. Thank you for considering that there are other cyber positions I am a match for and where my hands on leadership approach will combine nicely.

They devoted their time to offering me invaluable guidance and a clear roadmap to help me achieve my career goals. The insight Christophe Foulon provided has had a profound and lasting impact on my daily efforts as I continue to work towards those aspirations. While there is still much progress to be made since our initial conversation, I am confident that the knowledge I gained will serve as an enduring foundation. I believe this kind of coaching could be immensely beneficial to others seeking direction and additional support in their own career journeys.

Chris is a great professional who believes in giving back to the community. He has tons of real-world experience in Cybersecurity to boot. When I mentored a group of folks, Chris readily volunteered to teach and mentor. He also provided references to great material that my mentees could use. Strongly recommended!

About Me
Meet Chris Foulon - Your Dedicated Cybersecurity Leadership Coach
Passionate about empowering others and fostering cybersecurity leaders, I have dedicated more than 15 years to information security. As an experienced Information Security Manager, Adjunct Professor, and Cybersecurity Strategist, I have honed a deep understanding of the industry, its risks, and the required leadership traits to navigate this complex landscape.
Throughout my career, I have led large teams across multiple locations and have always believed in people's power. My love for customer service, process improvement, and information security drives me to uncover and cultivate the talents in each individual I coach.
My approach to coaching is founded on the principle of shining a light on the value of others so they can see it in themselves. I focus on helping businesses tackle their cybersecurity risks with minimal friction, enabling increased resilience, and securing people and processes with a strong understanding of the involved technology.
Having trained hundreds of professionals, my greatest joy is witnessing their journeys from where they were to where they desired to be. The hard work, dedication, and resilience always come from them; I am merely a guide helping them overcome obstacles, set practical goals, and work towards fulfilling their dreams.
Beyond coaching, I've co-authored books such as 'Developing Your Cybersecurity Career Path' and 'Hack the Cybersecurity Interview,' both of which were recognized by industry peers. I've also contributed to 'Understand, Manage, and Measure Cyber Risk' by Ryan Leirvik.
You can learn more about my career journey and achievements on my LinkedIn profile. Let's unlock the door to your cybersecurity career progression and success.
