Alex Zoldova

Alex Zoldova is a cybersecurity keynote speaker and Senior Cybersecurity Solution Architect, Partners (UKI and EMEA) at Microsoft. She is known for bringing calm, practical direction to high-pressure security decisions, helping leadership teams turn risk into a clear plan. Her biggest achievement is being a trusted adviser to C-level stakeholders across enterprise partners, shaping secure cloud and hybrid architectures built on Zero Trust, identity governance and modern threat protection.

Alex’s early career was grounded in communication, strategy and an instinct for how organisations make decisions. She earned a BA in Communication and Political Science, University of Haifa, graduating with honours in the top five per cent of her department, then built commercial and technical experience across digital roles in London and Berlin. In these formative years, she worked closely with product and engineering teams, led client integrations, and gained first-hand insight into how security, privacy and customer trust intersect. She later broadened her hands-on technical skills through web programming study, which strengthened her ability to speak credibly to both technical teams and business leaders.

Her career achievements reflect a steady move from commercial technology into enterprise security leadership. She joined Microsoft and progressed to Senior Cybersecurity Cloud Solution Architect, EMEA, advising organisations across multiple sectors on cloud security strategy, identity-centric architecture and security operations. She became recognised for helping teams align to leading frameworks, including NIST and CIS, while making the work achievable in real environments where legacy systems, time pressure and competing priorities get in the way. Today, as Senior Cybersecurity Solution Architect, Partners (UKI and EMEA) at Microsoft, Alex works with enterprise partners to design ‘secure by design’ approaches across multi-cloud estates, including SIEM, XDR, cloud posture management and data security. She is also a Board Member of Women in Cybersecurity at Microsoft, and a published voice on cybersecurity trends, with a strong focus on the real-world impact of AI on attacks and defence.

Alex is hired because she makes cybersecurity feel manageable, urgent, and relevant to every function, from the boardroom to engineering. Her keynotes cover Zero Trust, identity governance, secure cloud and hybrid architecture, AI-driven threats, cyber resilience, supply chain risk, and how leaders can prepare for tightening UK security expectations. She also speaks powerfully on talent, career navigation and inclusion, bringing lived insight from mentoring and community work. Audiences leave with actions they can take immediately, for example tightening privileged access, improving incident readiness, and agreeing a simple set of security principles that guide every major technology decision. If you want a speaker who can raise ambition, reduce confusion, and help people act decisively, Alex Zolodova delivers.
