Indy Mellink

Indy partners with Product and Engineering to translate emerging adversary tactics, behavioral science, and frontline practitioner expertise into scalable simulations and AI-driven product capabilities.

Before joining Doppel, Indy led cybersecurity awareness and social engineering programs at a leading cybersecurity organization, managing a team that conducted attack simulations for public- and private-sector organizations. She also holds a PhD in neuroscience, giving her a distinctive perspective on human behavior, decision-making, and how people respond under pressure. Her work extended beyond identifying human risk to building and implementing awareness programs that helped organizations develop lasting resilience against social engineering attacks.

Indy combines her expertise in neuroscience, forensic psychology, and security operations to turn behavioral insights into realistic scenarios, evaluation criteria, and feedback loops. This work helps Doppel’s AI agents model credible attacker behavior, measure human risk, and determine whether employees recognize, resist, and report sophisticated social engineering attacks.
