About Me

With over two decades of experience across the IT and cybersecurity landscape, I am a seasoned security professional specialising in transforming complex security challenges into strategic business advantages. My career, spanning roles from Security Architecture to SecOps and Consultancy, is defined by a forward-thinking, problem-solving approach. I excel at identifying underlying issues, asking the incisive questions that others might miss, and designing risk-based solutions that protect the enterprise without hindering business operations. My methodology is built on a foundation of integrity and empathy, ensuring that security becomes a trusted enabler of business goals, not a barrier to them.
My key capabilities include:
-
Strategic Risk Analysis: Moving beyond a "tick-box" mentality to implement a pragmatic, risk-based approach that ensures security measures are appropriate and impactful without impeding business functions.
-
Incisive Problem Diagnosis: Leveraging years of hands-on experience to ask the right questions, investigate complex issues, and uncover hidden vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
-
Holistic Solution Design: Drawing on a diverse background in SecOps, consultancy, and architecture to design and implement security solutions that are technically sound, strategically aligned, and built for the long term.
-
Collaborative Leadership: Building trust and strong relationships with all stakeholders, fostering a culture of shared responsibility and ensuring security initiatives are supported across the business. My foundation of honesty and integrity drives every decision, ensuring we always do the right thing.
