About

I have had over 24 years' experience in the cyber security industry in Asia Pacific. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Commerce and Administration degree from Victoria University, Wellington, NZ majoring in information systems and management. I am also a CISSP, CISA, CSSLP, CGEIT, CRISC, CDPSE, CCSK, C|CISO, PCIP, MACS CP (Cyber Security) and ITIL qualified professional.

My current role of Partner – Cyber Security encompasses leading a cyber security practice aimed at assisting clients to identify cyber exposure and risk, developing effective risk management strategies, implementing the necessary measures to safeguard operations, and acting decisively to counteract and recover from potential cyber-attacks.

The key aspects of the role involve strategic planning and leadership, growing and maintaining client relationships, leading service delivery and engagements, developing team and organisational capability and representing the firm in industry and public settings.

In my previous role, I was responsible for running the security business within the APAC region for Unisys. The focus of this role was the management of the service line and delivery capabilities across all lines of Cyber Security Services. This role was the CISO level representative and had responsibility for CISO advisory for key clients, leading sales engagements to C level executives within the region, providing project based quality assurance, providing input into new product development, client, P&L and staff management

In my prior position as the Managed Security Practice Manager at Dimension Data, I was responsible for leading the managed security business. The role ranged from day to day running of the practice to designing complex security architectures, leading the presales effort with the Sales team, presenting to clients articulating the ROI on managed security, and presenting at industry events as a security SME.

With my prior role at Gen-i, I led the development and implementation Gen-i’s Security Practice specialising in IT security, IT disaster recovery and IS Strategic Planning services across both sides of the Tasman. I had taken up the responsibility for managing the Projects and Design team as well leading a team of 15 Consultants and Project Managers. In addition to this, I was also managing the Gen-i Security Service Line focusing on P&L management, product strategy, marketing and sales strategy development and support, and high-end Security presales and architectural activities.
