This week James sat down with Rune Boye Knudsen, CEO & Co-founder of Moxso, to explore what it really takes to scale a cybersecurity startup at lightning speed without losing culture, momentum, or purpose along the way. 

Moxso is redefining how organisations approach security by focusing on the human risk element, widely recognised as the single biggest cause of cybersecurity failure. Together, they unpack why human behaviour, not technology continues to be the weakest link and how smarter, more intuitive security can actually change that.

In just 12 months, Moxso has grown from 8 people to 75, and Rune shares the real challenges of scaling at that pace. From keeping everyone aligned and adaptable to evolving culture intentionally rather than letting it erode, this conversation offers an honest look at hypergrowth. They also reflects on his unconventional journey into cybersecurity, entering the industry as a rookie with a Master’s in Economics and building one of the fastest-scaling security companies in the space.

This episode dives into what it means to lead with purpose while growing fast—how to simplify security through automation, avoid overwhelming teams and build a culture where people feel empowered, supported, and inspired. 

A must-listen for founders, leaders, and security professionals navigating rapid growth, cultural evolution, and the realities of building resilient organisations.
