In my leadership role, I help clients develop their security strategy in the context of the cyber business risk that they face; I have a particular focus on advising boards on the potential business impact of cybersecurity, and on quantifying cybersecurity risk in financial terms.

I am passionate about attracting talent into the cybersecurity profession and am a member of the UK National Cyber Security Centre’s Industry Advisory Board for their CyberFirst programme. I am IBM’s executive sponsor for the Charter of Trust, a unique initiative by leading global companies to secure the digital world. I am also a member of the FAIR Institute Industry Advisory Group.

I have been assisting government to raise awareness of the business risk posed by the cyber security threat since 2005 attending the first CESG conferences on Information Assurance in the UK in 2006. I have lectured both at Oxford University's Said Business School and Centre for Doctoral Training on Cybersecurity, and also at Warwick University's MSc Course on CyberSecurity and Management.
