Jeremy is a former employee of the National Security Agency who shared Operations Security and tech safety principles to the full alphabet of federal agencies ranging from the FBI, to the DLA, MDA, NRO, NIST and at the Pentagon. At the same time, he was recognized as one of the NSA’s five top employee advocates by the agency Anti-Harassment Campaign and served as an elected Workforce Matters Advocate helping senior executives to build trust and battle workplace toxicity through a culture of listening and full-scope collaboration.
With insights gained from 16 years behind the NSA veil, Jeremy shares unique lessons in leadership and information safety - delivered with award winning speaking and instruction skills - to help organizations stay secure, operate efficiently, and build a positive work culture.
In the National Security Agency, harassment victims faced disinterest and escalation. Employees were mocked, insulted, and kicked out the door for raising issues. And I watched the agency falsify security records to justify revoking my clearance in an attempt to discourage me from sharing our stories.
For your security day, conference, seminar, etc., Jeremy can bring or create a presentation that will stand out and sink in.
This format is best for between one and three key points or messages at a time. Security awareness, leadership, collaboration: pick your topic and let me wow your people!
Workshops are for smaller audiences who want to try their hands at the topics being discussed: tightening one's online presence, advanced search and monitoring skills, or developing a personal security profile. Don't forget listening skills, morale, and building workplace trust!
This format is great for building a lasting impression, but is best with smaller audiences (up to 20).

With a decade of experience fighting bureaucracy and giving voice to employees, Jeremy can show you the blockages and barriers that prevent keep your workforce silent and disinterested.
