Monica's masterclass is giving solid fundamental building block not just in cybersecurity leadership but leadership. She focuses not only on tactics and methodology but on the why, the motivation and incentive which is far different than you are going to get in any other class on cybersecurity or leadership. When you go into this, it's not just on how do I know more about cybersecurity, it's about how do I be a better leader. This masterclass also includes lessons from many amazing leaders that have earned their scars and bruises in this space. That collective wisdom being boiled down into these building blocks is phenomenal.

Elena Bielinyte, Information Security Officer & DPO, Tamigo

It's safe to say that my expectations were met and exceeded. After our single conversation I now have a very clear vision of where I want to head with my career. In fact, you have shown and inspired me to consider something that I didn't even know was possible for me. And you have expressed it clearly, with specific and realistic reasons and indications, grounded in my story, your experience and our conversation. This has left me with great ideas and pointers for my next steps, as well as an aspirational direction for my future growth.

Jeremiah Grossman, CEO, BitDiscovery
