About Me

Judith Kwentoh

Hi, I’m Judith Kwentoh, an Author, Agile Coach, Cybersecurity Strategist, Program leader, and a strong advocate for agile security transformation. With extensive experience in cybersecurity, product security, and risk management, I specialise in helping organisations deploy agile security transformation programs that drive speed, flexibility, and lasting impact.

Traditional security approaches are no longer enough in today's fast-moving digital landscape—they’re too slow, reactive, and disconnected from product and business priorities. Through agile security transformation, I help companies embed security into their DNA, ensuring that cybersecurity is not just a compliance requirement but a business enabler that supports innovation and growth.

With certifications in Cybersecurity from Google and Harvard and recognition as a Quality Practitioner by the Chartered Quality Institute and ITIL certified, I specialise in helping professionals integrate cybersecurity into product development.

I aim to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams—empowering professionals to build secure, high-quality solutions that meet business objectives and customer expectations.

As a mum, wife, and lifelong learner, I bring authenticity, warmth, and a dynamic approach to everything I do. Whether leading diverse teams, engaging with stakeholders, or crafting strategies to solve complex challenges, I always focus on delivering results that resonate with people.

What Drives Me

I thrive on learning, evolving, and continuously improving professionally and personally. My creativity extends beyond work into my hobbies, which include cooking, crocheting, drawing, and reading. These passions fuel my ability to think outside the box, problem-solve effectively, and find innovative ways to connect with people. I also enjoy meeting new people, growing my network, and exchanging ideas that drive positive change.

My Professional Philosophy

Having worked extensively with stakeholders across industries, I’ve seen firsthand how projects succeed or fail. The common thread? People. Too often, businesses prioritise technology without considering how it impacts users.

My mission is to bridge that gap by:

•Empowering professionals with cybersecurity awareness so they can confidently engage with security teams and integrate security into their work.

•Aligning business objectives with secure, user-centered strategies to deliver quality, compliant products.

•Building collaborative relationships that foster trust, honesty, and shared success.
