Shamane has demonstrated the ability to win hearts and minds on the subject of cyber, having gravitas and a clear presence on stage coupled with the ability to strongly influence even the most seasoned CISO. I have more to learn from her than she has learnt from me. If you get the chance, don't miss hearing her speak; she's awesome!"
