He is based in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), and he is originally from Denmark. He is a successful serial entrepreneur and serial investor focused on tech start-ups and empowering the next generations. He is also a dynamic millennial driven by a passion to share his knowledge, especially with the youth, and to uplift talented individuals. Michael is someone who appreciates informal education and what someone might bring to the table rather than which school they attended. He, himself, followed a non-traditional path by interning at an IT security company, then decided to travel for a few years before coming back to the IT security company. He relocated to Dubai for an IT security role and then founded EuroTech ME in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>He is also a father who puts family at the centre of his life, regardless of how busy his schedule gets. He lives what he preaches when it comes to family, life and leadership values.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize on his mindset, Michael built his career through networking, quality services, hard work, and meeting the right people. He put in the necessary efforts to get to where he is, but he is also aware that he crossed paths with key people, and that is also why today he invests his finances and time into new projects and has become that key person for the next motivated entrepreneurs. Michael&#8217;s vision is not just to invest but to advise and actively contribute to taking these companies to the next level, leveraging his experience and insights; he embodies the true definition of a leader.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\"width:80px;height:80px; \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1669&#8243; img_size=&#8221;200&#215;200&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_border_circle_2&#8243; border_color=&#8221;purple&#8221; image_hovers=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1706861321354{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-91166a0c3ec5d1e33\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-91166a0c3ec5d1e33 uvc-1204 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-91166a0c3ec5d1e33 h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:20px;\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h2 style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#cb46e2;\">Rahil Ghaffar<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-91166a0c3ec5d1e33 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;color:#ffffff;margin-bottom:10px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">VP &#8211; EMEA<br \/>\n<strong>WhiteSwan Security<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-2455\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t.btn-modal.btn-id-6a0c3ec5d1e586-88702486:hover {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground-color: #4b4be2 !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-2455 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#a037b2;border-color:#a037b2;color:#ffffff; \" data-class-id=\"content-6a0c3ec5d1e586-88702486\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-md overlay-show ult-align-center btn-id-6a0c3ec5d1e586-88702486\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-cornerbottomleft\">VIEW BIO<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-6a0c3ec5d1e586-88702486 \" data-class=\"content-6a0c3ec5d1e586-88702486\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(51,51,51,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-medium\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-9131\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#333333;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"color:#333333;font-weight:bold;border-color:#333333;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-icon\"><i class=\"icomoon-the7-font-the7-arrow-03\"><\/i><\/div><h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-9131 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">Rahil Ghaffar<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-9131 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\tRahil Ghaffar, VP for\u00a0 EMEA, at WhiteSwan Security\u00a0 is a Cyber Security professional with over\u00a0 two decade of extensive experience working in various domains of Information Security, defining and delivering Information Security strategies in complex enterprise environments.
