I've lived and breathed cybersecurity sales for 27 years — and know how to get results in your world.

No one needs another generic sales trainer who sold copiers in the 90s. 

Here’s what sets me apart:

1. Built for Execution, Not Theory
I help you fix what’s slowing deals down right now. From tightening your sales motion to sharpening your messaging, my programs are designed to move the needle fast—not six months from now.

2. 100% Focused on Cybersecurity
I’ve spent over two decades selling and leading in cybersecurity. I speak the language of CISOs, understand how technical buyers think, and know how to help your reps win in competitive markets.

3. Repeatable Systems That Scale With You
This isn’t one-and-done training. I build programs your team can use again and again—from onboarding new reps to closing enterprise deals with confidence.

Cybersecurity sales leaders are given lofty revenue goals and need their teams to maximize every opportunity to exceed the goals. I help them do that. I transform their team from product sellers to positioners of business value. 

I've been in the cybersecurity sales world since 1998 and since January 2020, I have worked with numerous companies as their advisor, consultant, and trainer.

When investing in early stage Cybersecurity companies, I'm finding their are typically 2 buckets. 

"Product First Founders" & "Founder First Founders"

- Product First - those who have felt the pain in previous roles and want to build a solution.

- Founder First - those who have the vision and want to build something.

Aspiron Ventures is actively looking to deploy capital into both buckets so if you are working on a innovative pre-seed/seed security company i'd love to connect.

It's with absolute pleasure to welcome Max Chalkley to Aspiron Search this week.

Max is going to be instrumental in optimising our sales engine, managing our processes, technology, and data to boost our efficiency and forecasting as we focus on becoming the competitive advantage for early-stage security companies.

Max welcome to the team mate! 🚀

Don't burn your bridges! 

Yesterday, I shared a highly experienced candidate with a Talent Acquisition (TA) leader at a cybersecurity vendor. This TA has over 10 years in the industry, including onsite roles with some of the world’s leading cyber companies.

When she saw the candidate's name, she immediately passed.

The candidate applied for a job at one of her previous companies and handled the interview & offer process negatively. 

Just a reminder, it's a small world and even smaller cybersecurity industry.

What an incredible SKO today with the best team in the industry!

We sat down this morning as a team and presented our 2026 individual and business OKR's which was followed by an afternoon spent doing some team building at the rock climbing centre on the famous Bournemouth pier. (for anyone interested in starting a new hobbie this year, highly recommend!)

It was a privilege to present Steffen Foley with his Top Biller award and Seb Sanz-Toledo with Rookie of the Year. Well done again chaps 🍾🍾

We have lots of exciting announcements coming up, roll on 2026! 🚀

A warm welcome back to San Francisco. 

A full week of meeting the industries most innovative security companies and early stage cyber investors. 

2 days Fidi, 2 days Palo Alto. 

LFG! Steffen Foley

We are definitely kicking this year off in the right way as we have just been engaged on a multi-hire team-build project for genuinely one of the hottest Series A Cybersecurity vendors in the world right now.

They are actually backed by Tier 1 Investors, have an unmatched technology and are already in with 35+ enterprise customers. 

Particular cyber domain experience is not essential as they are more interested in folks who know the enterprise motion 

They are building a team of A-players and we need to bolster the GTM organisation as they double down this year:

3x Account Executives (TOLA, Chicago, New York)
1x Sales Engineer (Remote, US)
1x Field & Channel Marketing (Remote, US)

If you are interested in learning more, drop me a DM

ps. congrats Ella Maddock on landing a deal on her first day back in the office today, one a week now please :)

Looking forward to being back in San Francisco at the end of the month with Steffen Foley. 

We'll be connecting with the security industry's most innovative security startups and investors discussing how we land high-performing GTM talent into our clients.

The market is red hot right now, so if you are local to SF and looking for a truly competitive edge to your hiring, drop me a message 🌉

Goodbye Semenyo 🍒

What an absolutely cracking game last night and great result for the cherries (Bournemouth) winning 3-2 against Tottenham Hotspur with Antoine Semenyo scoring a last-minute goal in his last touch for the club before joining Man City (still officially pending)....

Moving Aspiron Search headquarters out of London to Bournemouth was a big decision last year and it's been fun watching Premier League football from the smallest stadium in the league.

We are hiring for local recruiters and if any of our US friends want to watch a game of PL soccor when they are in the UK, drop me a message!

Thank you Tee Screen Limited for the hospitality as always.
