One of the most influential voices in European cybersecurity — and a driving force behind some of the most important security milestones in Sweden’s digital history.

With a career marked by national and global impact, Anne-Marie helped secure the very foundations of the internet. As Sweden’s former Chief Information Security Officer and one of the world’s trusted ICANN Crypto Officers, she played a key role in protecting the DNS root zone — a responsibility held by only a handful of experts worldwide.

Her expertise has shaped policy and strategy across Sweden’s most critical institutions, including Skatteverket, FMV and Trafikverket. Few people have done more to strengthen the nation’s digital resilience or to educate the next generation of cybersecurity leaders.

While she will not be on stage this year, Anne-Marie plays a pivotal role behind the scenes as an advisor and ambassador for Cyber Security Summit — lending her expertise, championing the event through her network, and helping us secure even more headline names for the 2026 programme.

Influential, respected, and trusted at the highest level — her involvement sets the tone for the calibre of Cyber Security Summit 2026.
