In this episode, Aakash Suri is joined by Jacqueline Stockwell, CEO and founder of Leadership Through Data. Jacqueline shares her unique journey from working in a dingy records library to founding a global training organization that operates across the UK, Australasia, and the USA. Jacqueline provides a masterclass on effective communication, explaining how to use sizzling copy, a 60-second elevator pitch, and behavioral psychology to win over senior stakeholders and transform privacy from a non-department into a strategic business enabler. KEY TAKEAWAYS The 60-Second Pitch: Professionals must be able to articulate who they are, what they do, and what they want to achieve in one minute to gain immediate authority in meetings. Sell the Sizzle, Not the Steak: Stakeholders don't care about the intricacies of the law; they care about the outcome. Frame privacy as a way to solve problems rather than a "tick-box" exercise. The "I/Me" Website Test: Audit your internal communications and website copy. If you say "I" or "Me" more than twice per page, the messaging is too self-centered and needs to be flipped to focus on the audience's benefit. Color Communication: Tailor your pitch to the personality of the stakeholder: "Reds" want the bottom line, "Blues" want the data, "Yellows" want the enthusiasm, and "Greens" want to feel supported. Visibility is Credibility: For introverted professionals, building a brand isn't about being loud; it’s about consistently showing up, sharing authentic lessons, and being visible so that the organization views you as a partner rather than an obstacle. BEST MOMENTS "Privacy isn't here to slow you down; it's here to help you move faster, safely." "People learn from people... it shouldn't just be 'talk and talk' for eight hours while they wait for the next coffee break." "If privacy only appears during an incident, you are seen as the police." "Visibility is credibility. If you don’t show up, nobody is going to know what you’re doing." "Take the risk or lose the chance... most decisions are reversible."

  • My Journey Through My Spouse’s Lens with Ashna Suri

    My Journey Through My Spouse’s Lens with Ashna Suri
    Feb 13 2026
    In this special episode, Aakash Suri is joined by his wife and partner, Ashna Suri, for an intimate look behind the curtain of his recent career transition. Aakash explores the emotional and practical realities of this shift with the person who has seen it all firsthand. The couple discusses the importance of strategic planning, the power of a growth mindset, and how role modelling courageous action has already begun to inspire their eight-year-old son. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mentorship is a Catalyst: Aakash attributes much of his rapid success to working with mentors who provided him with the "3 Cs" context, clarity, and confidence. The Snowball Effect of Groundwork: What appears to be overnight success is often the result of a "snowball effect" that builds over months of late-night strategic planning and foundational conversations. The Cost of Indecision: Remaining "on the fence" is the most dangerous professional state; even a wrong decision allows for a pivot, whereas no decision prevents growth. Boundaries for Success: Creating physical and digital boundaries, like a home office separate from the main house and designated "digital detox" times, is essential for sustaining family harmony during a transition. Inspiring the Next Generation: Children are more impacted by seeing their parents take courageous risks than by hearing about them; the couple’s son has already begun exploring his own "entrepreneurial" interests as a result. BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes the real insights about growth, balance, and authenticity come not from looking forward, but from reflecting through the lens of those who know you best." "The hardest part is when people are on the fence... if you’re not moving, there’s no growth." "Start now and get perfect later... or along the way." "If you're not courageous, you're not vulnerable, and you'll never know what's in front of you." "If you don't risk anything, you risk everything."

  • Inside the vCISO Mind: David Clarke on AI, GDPR, and Real‑World Risk with David Clarke

    Inside the vCISO Mind: David Clarke on AI, GDPR, and Real‑World Risk with David Clarke
    Feb 6 2026
    In this episode, Aakash Suri sits down with David Clarke, a veteran security leader and virtual CISO with experience spanning global trading floors and AI-driven startups. They dig into the reality of building trust in 2026, moving beyond simple compliance to address the messy world of data sprawl. David shares why mapped data flows are the true foundation of business velocity and explains the dangerous accountability gap teams face when integrating AI. KEY TAKEAWAYS Data Sprawl vs. Regulation: Regulation like GDPR isn't what slows companies down; it’s data sprawl, unmanaged copies of data across too many systems that kill business velocity. The AI Accountability Trap: Organizations often believe using vendor AI offloads risk, but under GDPR, the organization not the model or vendor remains fully accountable for every automated decision. Governance Through Visibility: Building a simple asset register or data map is more valuable than complex policies, especially during a breach, when knowing where the data is is the only thing that matters. Preparation for Breach Response: Effective breach response requires a clear "escalation process" that involves the C-suite and Board early. Most organizations fail because they wait too long to communicate. Privacy as a "Shared Language": Success in 2026 requires breaking down silos; privacy, security, legal, and product teams must share a common language to turn privacy from a hurdle into a competitive advantage. BEST MOMENTS "It doesn’t take long before that [data management] kind of gets out of hand and it's just in living memory... it's just our own mess." "MFA on its own now... you can download toolkits to bypass basic MFA. The battleground is getting tougher and tougher." "AI doesn't let anyone off the hook. You still own the decision, the risk, and the explanation." "People don't rise to the occasion; they fall to the level of their preparations." "One second of outage [on a trading network] could cost you $20,000... you don't necessarily have the luxury of saying, 'Hey, can we turn this off?'"
