// THE TEAM
The people behind the hires.
We are not a faceless agency. We are a small team that lives and breathes cybersecurity recruitment. We are at the conferences, in the communities, and in the conversations that matter.
Ricki Burke
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.
