At A&O Shearman, I built a global GRC capability from an inherited three-person team as Interim Global Head of GRC and Deputy CISO. I led teams of up to nine across five countries and supported the CISO in scaling the wider security function beyond 15 staff.
I led the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 re-certification, achieving zero findings, and secured an £800k Board-approved ransomware resilience budget. I also reduced third-party assessment turnaround by 50% across a 150+ supplier programme and cut audit preparation effort by over 40% while retaining full domain coverage.
At BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, I provide director-level security leadership and assurance across financial services, government and defence. My work includes leading assurance for a UK Government Azure-based platform, directing security architects on a multinational defence federation, and delivering cyber security assessments and readiness toolkits across the GCC.
