Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElmar Lecher is a Security Advisor with eight years of focused experience helping organisations mature from compliance-driven to genuinely security-aware operations, currently advising the Port of Rotterdam. He blends hands-on technical expertise—pentesting, incident response, Linux security, network and web app hardening—with program-level work in security management, threat analysis and building security chapters inside enterprises. A natural communicator and conference speaker, he translates technical risks into pragmatic, auditable remediation plans and trains non-security teams to own security outcomes. Beyond corporate roles he founded Milliways, coordinating large-scale, self-built infrastructure and logistics for international hacker camps, demonstrating uncommon operational and event-management skills. Based in Rotterdam as a German expat, he pairs deep technical roots (early sysadmin and startup security roles) with a talent for making security visible and actionable across organisations.
