Director of Communications and Marketing
Global Cyber Alliance

With an academic background in Linguistics and International Relations, Alejandro Fernández-Cernuda has been working on Cybersecurity for over a decade, mostly on partnership building and project management. His first 'big mission', back in 2008, was to help CaixaBank's CERT join the Steering Committee of FIRST. After that, in 2014, he was put in charge of the European Chapter of APWG. He survived both times.

Now, since March 2019, after becoming the Global Cyber Alliance's new Director of Communications and Marketing, he faces the challenge of bringing this non-profit's message to the EU (he will be working from Brussels as of September) and the rest of the world, especially there where English is not the first language.
