CERTIFIED AI PROFESSIONAL

PECB CERTIFIED TRAINER

Meet Your Trainer

From the Frontlines of Cybersecurity to the Frontier of AI. A Mission with Meaning

Customer Success First, everything else is space debris

With 18+ years of hands-on cybersecurity experience, I’ve seen it all, offensive security, defensive architecture, GRC, and incident response. 

 

That background gave me the discipline. But it was AI that reignited the curiosity.

 

Since 2018, I’ve been working on data science, building my own ML pipelines, tweaking algorithms, and using tools like Python, Elastic, Hugging Face, and early LLM platforms, not just for fun, but to solve real problems. 

 

By 2021, I was leading a Y Combinator backed AI-powered Cyber Threat intelligence vendor that rose to the top across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa market.

 

When I launched reconn, I finally got to implement AI end-to-end  not just study it, but use it in the field, where it counts.

 

Now, I bring that same field-tested clarity into every product, service and training that i represent.

Why This Course Hits Different

PECB has done a brilliant job crafting a solid structure, curriculum, and exam process. But let’s be real — a trainer can make or break the experience.


This isn’t a “slide hero” show.


This is an immersive, real-world, and highly customized training experience — delivered live, based on who’s in the room.

 

I’ve fine-tuned the program to ensure AI makes sense to everyone:

  • If you’re from tech, we’ll go deep into tools, terminologies, and application.
  • If you’re from non-tech, we’ll break it down without condescension — just clarity.

You won’t leave this course confused or overwhelmed. You’ll leave confident.

 

No fluff. No filler. Just real learning, real examples, and a globally respected certification to prove you’ve done the work.

Course and certification

The ISO 27001 Lead Auditor course is for professionals who audit and assess an organisation's ISMS for conformity against the standard. The ISO 27001 Lead Implementer course is for professionals who design, build, and manage the ISMS internally. Both carry equal professional weight. The right choice depends on your career role — auditors and compliance assessors typically pursue Lead Auditor, while security managers and consultants building systems typically pursue Lead Implementer.

A fundamental understanding of ISO/IEC 27001 and information security management is recommended before enrolling. Familiarity with audit concepts is beneficial but not mandatory. No formal training requirements must be met to enrol. Candidates without prior audit experience can sit the exam and apply for the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Provisional Auditor credential while building practical experience.

Candidates who complete the training but do not pass the first attempt are eligible to retake the exam once for free within 12 months of the initial exam date.
