I like engaging on social media and regularly address global audiences on these topics.I chair the Advisory Board for mobile innovator Ensygnia & the Global Advisory Board for the Centre for Strategic Cybercrime & Security Science & am a Founding Advisory Board Member for GiveADay UK and have recently been elected to the Advisory Board of the Emerging Payments Association.
