Olga Shperun

The EQ Lab, CEO and Founder

"Trust is the invisible thread that weaves security into the fabric of any organization—it’s not just a feeling, but a foundation built through vigilance, integrity, and understanding."

Experience: Olga Shperun is a distinguished cybersecurity investigator, intelligence expert, and licensed attorney with over a decade of experience in national security and law enforcement, now channeling her expertise into consulting, training, and education practice focused on insider threats and cybersecurity. As the founder of her own firm, Olga empowers organizations to protect their people, data, and assets by leveraging her unparalleled background with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and legal practice, combined with her exceptional emotional intelligence and strategic insight.

Expertise: Her career showcases a rare blend of human insight and technical precision. At the FBI, she conducted complex investigations, recovering $100+ million in stolen assets. As an Intelligence Officer at the DIA, she spearheaded global Human Intelligence (HUMINT) investigations, reducing recurring security incidents by 40% by identifying behavioral vulnerabilities others missed. Her collaboration with the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command set interagency benchmarks, while her ability to distill complex findings into actionable strategies earned her a voice with White House and congressional leaders.

Insider Threat and Cybersecurity: Olga views EQ as the cornerstone of insider threat prevention—a skill honed in high-stakes operations. Where technology falters, her ability to decode emotional cues equips her to train teams to spot risks, from subtle discontent to deliberate sabotage. She crafts tailored insider threat programs, turns employees into vigilant defenders, and educates leaders to sustain a culture of awareness, bridging technical and human domains with clarity and impact.

Recruitment: Believing that trust hinges on people, Olga has also launched a recruitment agency to place high-EQ professionals in cybersecurity and leadership roles—individuals who can strengthen a company’s defenses by blending technical skill with human awareness. This initiative reflects her belief that technical expertise alone isn’t enough—organizations need individuals who can navigate complex human dynamics, foster collaboration, and detect subtle behavioral cues that signal potential threats. By curating a talent pool of high-EQ cybersecurity and leadership professionals, Olga aims to help businesses strengthen their internal culture and security posture from the ground up.

Mission: Passionate about building trustworthy environments, Olga offers consulting, training, and recruitment solutions that merge real-world experience with forward-thinking innovation. For her, trust is the bedrock of security and success—a principle driving every strategy, workshop, and partnership she delivers.
