STEPHAN KAAS JOHANSEN
TEACHER / ADVISOR / HANDS-ON TECHNOLOGIST
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of software development, cybersecurity, and management. Today, AI is reshaping how we build, secure, and govern software, and I’m helping teams and leaders adapt without losing their edge.
As a teacher, advisor, and hands-on technologist, I specialize in AI governance, cybersecurity, and compliance. Whether it’s NIS2, the AI Act, GDPR, or the Data Act, I give technical leaders practical, no-BS guidance.
The best systems are built when engineers own not just the code, but the responsibility that comes with it.
Systems should work for people, not computers.
The best tech leaders don’t just ship products; they build teams that last.
