Paul Whitney posted thisAfter four decades in corporate HR, including twenty years in the US, I am embarking on a new journey as I retire from corporate life. Throughout my career, I have encountered valuable opportunities and collaborated with inspiring colleagues and leaders in exceptional companies. Above all, I am grateful for the HR professionals I have had the privilege to lead. Leadership, I', is a privilege that demands continuous growth, with respect for individuals being fundamental. Something that it probably took me too long to learn. Transitioning from my corporate role, I aim to share my insights with startup companies in a consulting capacity. I believe in the significance of imparting knowledge to bolster the development of emerging businesses. If you see potential for my experience to benefit you or your company, I am open to connecting. With mixed emotions, I bid farewell to corporate life (and to the US, as I've relocated back to the UK) to venture into the consulting realm. I am deeply thankful to all the remarkable individuals I've met over the years, who have enriched my journey with invaluable lessons. These memories will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you!

Paul Whitney shared this🔐 In cybersecurity, 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 is the key to understanding and stopping complex attacks. 🌐 Just like solving a complex math problem with multiple steps, security teams need multi-step reasoning to connect the dots across various stages of an attack before it can be neutralized effectively. 🧠 By accelerating the reasoning process, #AI tools like Sysdig Sage empower teams to outthink and outmaneuver increasingly sophisticated cloud attacks. 💡 Check out this blog to learn how multi-step reasoning can help you respond faster without sacrificing the accuracy needed to stop advanced threats: https://okt.to/DzcVd7

Paul Whitney shared this☁️ Container security has evolved! It's not just about scanning images anymore. As organizations grow their container environments, managing vulnerabilities and threats becomes a huge undertaking. 👉 This is where 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 come in. It helps teams pinpoint vulnerabilities in packages currently in use, allowing them to tackle the most critical risks first. 📸 With containers often lasting less than 5 minutes, organizations can't afford to rely on periodic snapshots anymore if they want to avoid costly breaches. 💡 Check out this Sysdig blog to learn how runtime insights can help you detect threats in real-time: https://okt.to/TDcmlB

Paul Whitney shared this☁️ In today's cloud environments, complex multi-stage attacks often slip past traditional security measures. 🔀 Multi-domain correlation is the solution, enabling comprehensive threat detection by analyzing data across networks, applications, databases, and more. 🏗 However, implementing this approach faces challenges — distributed infrastructures, siloed technologies, and compliance constraints complicate the process. 👉 The right platform, like Sysdig, integrates diverse data sources, automates risk prioritization, and enhances response times. 🔎 Check out this blog to discover how Sysdig uses multi-domain correlation to strengthen your security posture: https://okt.to/1xVlmN

Paul Whitney liked thisThe post I almost didn’t write. The workout i almost missed. The networking event i almost didn’t go to. The party i was about to ditch. The night out I felt too tired to go to. The difficult conversation I almost didn’t have. Truth is, you never regret doing it. Today’s #1000weeks my testament to just blooming doing it. And celebrating Arsenal, North London and Life. Have a good week friends ☀️⚽️🌈🌼 -
Paul Whitney liked thisPaul Whitney liked thisI moved my family to the UK three years ago to join Balderton because of the energy and joy I get from working along side founders as they build. And the sense that something special was happening here. Has always been happening here. Before joining the ecosystem in London, I had the privilege of working with incredible European founders for nearly 8 years at Elastic - a company proudly founded in Amsterdam (I'm looking at you Simon Willnauer, Ron Cohen, Rasmus Makwarth, Stephen Dodson, Uri Boness, Steven Schuurman, Shay Banon) And today, we as we launch our #BuiltInEurope campaign, it's time to confidently say out loud what Balderton has known for many years: European founders are now winning globally in nearly every field. Fredrik Hjelm of Voi Technology says it perfectly: "It's not a campaign about potential, not a campaign about what needs to change, but a campaign about what has already been built." There's never been a better time to join us: BuiltInEurope.com PS. Look out for of a celebration of Europe's brightest founders at Old Street Station in London, at Station F in Paris, and across Stockholm, Munich, and Berlin! #BuiltInEurope

Paul Whitney liked thisPaul Whitney liked thisJune 2026 looks very different to June 2025. Happy, healthier and clearer on what matters. Less interested in noise and more interested in building. I’m excited for my next chapter with Arcitile and the opportunity to be part of a business that's doing things differently. Here's to good people, big ambitions and the work still to come.

The idea: today's robots only work in the lab. Show them something new, rearrange objects, add something unexpected and they stop. Rhoda wants to fix that. FutureVision. The robot looks at the world through a camera. Predicts what will happen a split second later, like a video. Converts the prediction into action. Executes. Looks again. Repeats every few hundred milliseconds. An endless loop: observe, predict, act. The key difference: the model is trained on hundreds of millions of internet videos. It already understands physics, motion, how objects interact before it ever sees a specific robot. Then just 10 hours of data from an actual robot is enough to teach it a new task. In a real manufacturing test, a Rhoda robot completed a component processing cycle in under 2 minutes with zero human intervention. Exceeded customer requirements. $450 million Series A. $1.7 billion valuation. Khosla Ventures, Temasek, John Doerr, Premji Invest, Mayfield. A former Volkswagen senior executive on the board.

Paul Whitney liked thisI'm thrilled to be joining the The Women in STEM Network on Wednesday 3rd July, 12pm, to deliver a webinar on finding your zone of peak performance - that illusive place that combines your skills and expertise with the things that really energise you from within. Looking forward to a good conversation! Would love to see some of you there...Paul Whitney liked thisHigh performance is often confused with high endurance, but the two are not the same. Operating in your "zone of peak performance" is where technical skill meets intrinsic energy. Many women in STEM are technically proficient but professionally exhausted because they are utilizing competencies that drain rather than drive them. Join us on Wednesday, 3 June (12:00 - 13:00 GMT+1) for a masterclass led by Sarah, Executive Coach and Henley Business School Lecturer. Drawing on the Strengthscope framework, this session moves beyond traditional competency models to explore: - The psychophysics of energy at work. - Identifying "hidden" strengths that fuel sustainable growth. - Applying positive psychology to transition from simple competence to peak performance. Sarah brings a decade of experience in the water industry and senior leadership coaching to help high achievers move from chaos to clarity. Register for the masterclass through the Women in STEM Network events portal: https://lnkd.in/eDuXyFcB #WomenInSTEM #LeadershipDevelopment #PeakPerformance #Strengthscope #STEMCareers

Paul Whitney liked thisPaul Whitney liked thisIt’s actually happening 🙌🏻 I’m continuing this 30-day rethinking experiment. Each day, I’m taking one action from Adam Grant book ‘Think Again’ and reflecting on what it means for leadership, coaching, neurodivergence, and the way we work with our own assumptions. It’s certainly not a book review…more of a rethinking practice. Day 2. The action is: “Define your identity in terms of values, not opinions.” I have to say this one really landed for me, a stronger identity might be: I value curiosity. I value learning. I value mental flexibility. I value the search for better understanding. That shift matters, especially in coaching, because so much growth begins when someone can loosen their grip on an old story without feeling they’ve betrayed themselves. Today’s question: What opinion are you holding onto because it has become part of who you think you are? #ThinkAgain #AdamGrant #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveCoaching #NeurodivergentLeadership #Rethinking
