In our third installment of Meet the Arachne Digital Team, we continue to share about the contributors that make our open-source work run as we gear up for Hacktoberfest.
This week, we highlight operations and sales mastermind Hollie Rowsell.
Hey! I’m Hollie; pronouns are she/her.
Here at Arachne, I’m all things Operations and Sales. I work closely with the Co-Founders to build out the internal infrastructure, operating models and sales methodologies that help make their dream a reality.
I really love the intentionality of open-source. As a strong believer in the popular aphorism ‘a rising tide lifts all boats’, open-source is beneficial for all, is the masterpiece of many and counteracts the challenging landscape we are seeing in relation to disinformation.
Threat intelligence is a crucial part of the cybersecurity ecosystem. I’m fascinated in the psychology that drives cyber actors and find it a very dynamic and evolving field to work in. I also love the positive impact we at Arachne Digital make with the timely and actionable insights and support we give our customers.
I also work for Avetta as their APAC Solutions Engineering Team Lead (don’t worry peeps… there’s no conflict of interest!). I’m equally as passionate about supporting and redefining HSE and Environmental Sustainability initiatives within our supply-chains, so at the moment I feel pretty blessed to be working within so many of my passion areas.
When I’m not working, I’m offline and outdoors. You’ll find me hiking, by the water, road tripping or trying to convince my dog that I am the pack leader and not her. I also volunteer with a school in the highlands of Sikkim India, helping the founder digitise and improve the education experience for his rural and underserved students.

“Arachne Digital’s team works closely with us in integrating our tool, Speculo, with their data. Speculo is designed to help organisations get a full picture of their cyber risk with reliable analytics and a streamlined risk assessment process. The integration of Arachne Digital’s threat intelligence into Speculo provides evidence-based insights into cyber risks, making the tool more relevant to our customers. Arachne facilitated multiple face-to-face meetings and video calls, provided technical resources, comprehensive documentation, and example reports. This collaboration ensured that we could seamlessly integrate and utilize their data, significantly enriching the value we deliver to our clients.
Arachne Digital’s commitment to excellence and their proactive approach in supporting our needs have made them an indispensable partner. We highly recommend their services to any organisation looking to strengthen their threat intelligence capabilities.”
