“Katie took me through all the key aspects of Cyber Security in a very structured, easy to understand way and was able to position her advice easily for the stage I was at in my business. She made me feel like no question was too ‘basic’. It was also really helpful to have her take on the key things I needed to be considering when it came to AI which has give me a lot more confidence. I found her approach really supportive overall, and I have a number of manageable actions I will now be taking forward to implementation.”
