Pascal M. Berlinger

Group CIO • Board Member • Author • Keynote Speaker • Human Risk Management Advocate

Technology alone does not transform organizations. People do.

As a Group CIO, Board Member, international keynote speaker, and author, I help organizations bridge the gap between cybersecurity, business strategy, and human behavior. With more than two decades of international leadership experience, I have led global IT transformations, cybersecurity programs, M&A integrations, cloud migrations, and cultural change initiatives across multiple industries.

Today, my work focuses on one of the most overlooked risks in cybersecurity: people. Through measurable Human Risk Management programs, executive leadership engagement, and board-level governance, I help organizations transform security awareness from a compliance exercise into a business advantage.

I am currently authoring the books "Human Risk Management – From Security Awareness to Measurable Leadership Responsibility" and "Security Awareness Level 0", challenging long-standing assumptions about what organizations can realistically expect employees to know about cybersecurity.
