Alexandra Forsyth is a thought leader, creator and visionary working across cyber security, culture and leadership. She is a TEDx community presenter and curator, podcast host, event host and experienced panel moderator, known for shaping conversations that move people to think bigger and act with confidence. Through storytelling and sharp dialogue, Alexandra helps audiences step into braver, more ambitious versions of their personal and professional lives.
Her Dream Big concept opens conversations on overcoming adversity, breaking down barriers to entry across industries, embracing technology and transforming ambitious ideas into real-world outcomes. Whether speaking to executives, technical teams or early-career professionals, Alexandra brings energy, clarity and relevance to every stage she steps onto.
Cyber, Culture and Human Resilience
A central theme in Alexandra’s work is the belief that culture keeps organisations safe. She addresses cyber security through a human-first lens, focusing on mindset, behaviour and shared ownership rather than fear-driven compliance. From evolving threat actors and AI pressure to organisational blind spots, Alexandra brings conversations back to people and how they work together.
Her TEDx talk, Why We Need Community Now More Than Ever (2024), highlighted the importance of connection, collaboration and openness during rapid change. This message runs through her keynotes and workshops, where she encourages leaders to replace hierarchy with conversation and complexity with clarity. Alexandra’s delivery style is engaging, direct and grounded in lived experience, making complex topics accessible without losing depth.
Leadership, Threat Intelligence and Industry Expertise
Alexandra’s cyber career is built on hands-on threat intelligence and strategic leadership. As Threat Intelligence Industry Lead at Accenture Security from 2022 to 2025, she supported major global retail and fashion brands. Her work spanned threat landscape reporting, modelling exercises, executive briefings, playbook creation, risk assessments and threat management strategies.
She collaborated closely with SOC teams, incident response, threat hunting, research units, GRC, legal, brand teams and wider business functions to strengthen intelligence capabilities end to end. Alexandra also supported organisations during high-pressure trading periods such as Black Friday and Christmas, where preparedness and clear decision-making are critical.
Key activities included:
Executive profiling and leadership briefings
Social media footprint analysis
Monitoring and mapping protest activity ahead of major retail events
Domain investigations and takedowns
Before Accenture, Alexandra worked in the gaming industry as a Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst at The Workshop, supporting teams through indicators of compromise and frameworks including MITRE ATT&CK, Pyramid of Pain and the Kill Chain. Her foundational experience at Tempest Security Intelligence strengthened her investigative capability across OSINT tools, suspicious activity monitoring and client-driven analysis.
Global Perspective and Cross-Market Experience
With experience across London, New York and Los Angeles, Alexandra brings a global mindset to her work. Her UK background and expanding presence in the US market give her a fresh, cross-market perspective on opportunity, growth and timing. She speaks openly about taking action now rather than waiting, encouraging organisations and individuals to broaden scope, embrace change and move decisively.
This international outlook shapes her approach to brand activation, community building and strategy. Alexandra unites people through storytelling and action, creating alignment between vision and execution across borders and industries.
Community, Visibility and Early Careers
Alexandra is deeply committed to opening doors for others and strengthening the future of the cyber industry. She recently co-led the first Women in Cyber programme in Ukraine, supporting new talent through a three-day conference in Kyiv followed by a ten-week virtual programme. Featuring speakers from technical and non-technical disciplines, the initiative focused on demystifying cyber careers, building confidence and providing clear insight into available pathways.
Her commitment to community is also reflected in her podcast, Take a Chance on You. Inspired by conversations with strangers in London and a growing awareness of loneliness, anxiety and limited career guidance, the podcast explores transformation across fashion, business, finance, healthcare, beauty, sports, culture, technology and cyber security. Alexandra often weaves cyber themes into these wider conversations, showing how technology shapes modern life beyond the workplace.
A Recognised and Trusted Voice
Alexandra’s insights have reached audiences through TEDx Woodlane Women and media platforms including Authority Magazine, UC Today, RSA Conference, Forbes, Business Insider, The Guardian, Tech Stories and the Daily Express. Her strength lies in translating technical risk into relatable stories that resonate with leaders, teams and communities alike.
