Cyber security leader with over 10 years' experience turning security strategy into practical, business-enabling outcomes. I specialise in cloud security and security architecture, with a strong focus on governance, risk and insider threat.

I believe good security leadership is about influence as much as expertise: translating technical risk into language boards and senior stakeholders can act on, building security into programmes from the start rather than bolting it on, and creating teams and cultures where security is everyone's business.

My experience spans setting security strategy, leading multi-disciplinary teams, building risk frameworks from the ground up, and working closely with data protection, fraud and business leaders to balance protection with delivery.

I'm passionate about developing the next generation of security talent. I mentor emerging cyber leaders and write The Cyber Baker (cyberbaker.co.uk) to make security accessible to everyone.
