ABOUT DENNIS LINDWALL
I’m a cybersecurity and technology executive with 25+ years of global experience leading transformation, operational resilience, and cyber risk reduction across financial services, fintech, and complex international environments.Currently MD-level lead for cybersecurity programmes at HSBC Wealth & Personal Banking; overseeing a $250M+ cyber investment portfolio across 60+ markets. I’ve also served as pre-launch Interim Head of Cybersecurity / CISO for Zing, a $150M international payments start-up, and advise early-stage SaaS platforms on cybersecurity, data protection, and scaling secure operations. I also advise leadership and engineers on AI implementation, scaling and adaptation as a Technical AI Ambassador in HSBC.Earlier in my career, I founded and exited two consulting firms, held regional MD/COO roles in West Africa, and led transformation programmes at Kearney (then A.T. Kearney) and Central Cost in Paris. My foundation is operational. My strength is execution under pressure.Fluent in English, French, and Swedish, I’ve held long-term expatriate roles across Europe, Africa, and Asia.I also write at Tekk-talk.com where I explore the patterns shaping cybersecurity, fintech, and technology strategy. My writing isn’t hype or glossy futurism; it’s grounded insight drawn from scars, stories, and lessons learned in the field.
