The People Behind the Network
We're not generalist recruiters who dabble in cyber. We live in this industry: on stage, in the community, and in the trenches with the people we place.
The Team
We're part of the industry, not watching from the outside.
Founder & Managing Partner
Ricki advises founders and security leaders on how to build security functions that enable growth rather than block it. Since 2017, he has been embedded in the cybersecurity community, not as an observer, but as a contributor. He founded CyberSec People to bridge the gap between fast-moving tech companies and the elite security talent that doesn't exist on job boards. He specialises in retained executive search for first-time security hires (CISOs, Heads of Security) and strategic team builds across APAC and the US. Ricki is a co-organiser of BSides Gold Coast and a regular Career Village coach at Black Hat.
Principal Consultant
With deep roots in the ANZ tech sector and a track record of connecting hard-to-find talent with high-impact roles, Yaman helps organisations navigate their most complex hiring challenges. From scaling teams in fast-growth startups to hiring strategic leaders in enterprise environments.
Operations Manager
Sian brings a wealth of experience across research consulting, events, and healthcare. She ensures the smooth running of day-to-day operations and keeps the team from falling too far down the rabbit hole. That's a full-time job when you're working with cybersecurity obsessives.
Let's Have a Conversation
The best security leaders aren't on job boards. They're running programs and building security culture from the inside. They don't respond to recruiters, but they respond to us. Tell us what you need.
