"For me, it's all about working with people... at the end of the day, you want to work in a place where you can trust other individuals, you can get to know other individuals, and being personable with one another makes an organization great to work for," Raven David tells ISACA. In this Industry Spotlight episode, we meet Raven David, Cyber Risk and Governance Manager for The University of New South Wales (UNSW). Fascinated with technology at an early age, the native Australian recalls that he spent part of his childhood disassembling computers and putting them back together to understand better how they worked. This passion led him on a fantastic life journey and set him on a path to dominate the industry as a risk management, governance, compliance, assurance, and emerging technologies expert. Raven talks about his less traditional educational and career track. While working full-time, he managed a full-time class schedule simultaneously, to a career that allowed him to establish and manage a cyber risk and compliance team within a corporation of 5,000+ employees. Listen as Raven recaps the success of his cybersecurity awareness program, gives thoughtful advice to the next generation of young professionals, and discusses his current self-educating project, 3D printed chess set with Arduino-powered actuators and a Python chess engine.  As an active contributor to ISACA and the ISACA Sydney Chapter, Raven recently volunteered, mentored, and led the 2021 Oceania Conference Taskforce and is currently a CRISC Certification Working Group. In this ISACA Industry Spotlight episode, get to know the next-gen cybersecurity leader, Raven David.
