Dr. Thomas Matheus, CTO, Cystel. I have worked in different industries from retailing, to manufacturing, to consulting, to higher education and back to consulting. Along the way I did a PhD examining aerospace supply chain innovation processes. I have made many small and big decisions; I have led people; I have followed people.

Learning has been a constant. At the moment quantum cybersecurity, entrepreneurship, raising capital, other new technologies, sales pipeline development are my homework.

I have published papers with a focus on supply chain innovation, cybersecurity, hackers, and AI from a management perspective, as well as exploring innovation in various industries.

I see cybersecurity as an innovation race. It is a race whereby organisations need to strike the balance between their digital innovations and their cybersecurity innovations. If organisations focus too much on their digital innovations and neglect their cybersecurity innovations, asymmetries develop in favor of malicious actors.
