Tomasz Szmidt

I'm a walking tech and soft skills hybrid. My heart is close to data science yet my career journey set me on a leader's path. Oh yes, the career that has been totally non-linear: started in educational technology, had episode in civil engineering, entered data science doing user behavior analytics at Atos, moved to critical energy infrastructure security at Vestas. Ultimately, I found myself a home at Finnish WithSecure, becoming the guardian of European cybersecurity. First as data science team lead, now as program manager in threat detection and intelligence unit.
It's been about humans and technology all the time. All the knowledge I got from the IT community - I give back. You can find me helping people go through hard career periods and support the youth believing in themselves, making right, not easy choices.
