Sue Stockdale talks to Sebastian Rohr, a serial tech entrepreneur in the field of Identity & Access Management, and Information Security about the importance of managing one’s digital identity. As well as providing some practical tips on how to manage your digital identity, Sebastian reflects on why burnout is a common occurrence for many professionals working in this field and how he recovered when experiencing burnout several years ago.

Sebastian Rohr is the loving father of a teenage girl and considers himself an "earthling", despite travelling on a German passport. Aside from his day job in Security, he regularly contributes to Millennium Development Goal (MDG) projects in developing countries such as Ecuador, Jamaica, Myanmar and most recently Pakistan, where he assisted in preparing a digital system for improving the Birth Registration process. An avid lover of nature and the outdoors, Sebastian likes to ride both his bicycle and motorbike and tries to be outside as often as he can to recharge his batteries.
