What a serendipitous Monday! A day of reunions and new connections, far more social than a typical start to the week, packed with stimulating conversations to last me a while.

🌟 Clar Rosso: Reconnected after two years! She’s back in Asia on a new mission. We covered AI governance, cyber risk, security awareness, AI and climate sustainability, and of course, US politics (and how topsy-turvy the world feels right now). Always in awe of her.

🌟 Meenakshi: Four years is way too long! We made up for lost time chatting about entrepreneurship (she’s launched a new venture), love, relationships, and incorporating Reiki and energy healing into business, among other things.

🌟 ISACA x Mimecast Roundtable: Attended a roundtable dinner on Human Trust in the Age of AI (thank you ISACA for the invite). Beyond solid insights on growing insider risk and AI-driven behavioural threats, I was seated with the kindest and most fun volunteers who made me feel so welcome. Great laughs with Yong Chun, Kian Hua, Aveena and others.

🌟 Jen: Bumped into this cyber (and fashion!) powerhouse after almost two years at an adjacent event. Who says cybersecurity can’t be stylish and impactful?

Once you accept and cede control, the universe has a way of putting the right people in your path at the exact right time. 🙏

And that’s a wrap on Meet Up Monday!
