Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJovica Ilic is a pragmatic CISO and founder with 12 years of hands-on experience across system administration, security leadership, and entrepreneurship, currently leading security at Hawk and running WIM Security GmbH from Berlin. He combines deep technical roots—old-school sysadmin skills and Gentoo/Vim fluency—with executive-level strategy, authoring no-nonsense books for both executives and engineers. Jovica is known for calling out fluff in the infosec industry and for a psychology-informed approach to risk, governance, and incident response. His career spans scaling security programs at Adjust and short-term CISO engagements, showing an ability to move from tactical remediation to board-level security metastrategy. Colleagues appreciate his intolerance for time-wasting and blunt clarity, which drives rapid, practical outcomes rather than checkbox compliance.
