🟠 Steph Aldridge 🌵's Linkedin Analytics

With a background in technology, I am a creative problem solver, a dynamic connector, and a big-picture thinker with the end user in mind. I continue to bring inclusion while delivering clarity to processes that benefit all. I have a real passion for neurodiversity, and the cybersecurity industry is where this passion is being delivered. I firmly believe in the principle of 'Nothing About Us, Without Us.' Bridging the gap between cybersecurity’s demand for more professionals and supplying that demand by building pipelines, engaging in educational initiatives, crafting event content and agendas is how I add value. Diagnosed with ADHD, I am open to helping companies simplify processes, offering a unique perspective. I connect with industry experts to support internal conversations for me and you. Bring me a problem to solve, and I’ll have an idea you haven’t thought of yet, unless you’re my amazing daughter and just beat me to it. In my role as Director at NeuroCyber, I have been instrumental in building and coordinating the UK's first Neurodiversity: Autism into Cyber Event. This initiative galvanized the industry youth, carers, teachers, and parents to start and shine a light on the diversity of thought in the UK Cyber sector. At Cyber Security Challenge UK, I served as Cyber Centurion & Diversity Lead, supporting Masterclasses, building content for neurodiversity, CyberCenturion and 'women into cyber' events. I was seconded to Bletchley Park (2015) as a Curriculum Manager, where I built and delivered the UK's first CyberEPQ, gaining City & Guilds Centre status, the certification now sits with CIISEC. Ask yourself this - What is diversity? I think it's someone who doesn't think, look, sound, or feel like you do. Inclusion is a verb, an action. Try talking to someone new, find out something about them.
