United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At Allwyn Lottery Solutions, I lead security architecture for digital national lottery and gaming platforms across Europe and the US, spanning mobile, web, cloud, integration, and legacy systems.
Previously at Sage, I managed 11 security professionals across product security, platform security, enterprise architecture, and AI/ML initiatives for a portfolio of more than 200 products in over 50 countries. I supported Sage Copilot security controls for prompt and response handling, filtering, and AI service integration.
I've led security architecture and application security in regulated financial services, payments, telecommunications, and cloud environments at M&G, Beyond, Inmarsat, Worldpay, and DXI. My work has included PCI-DSS and PCI-P2PE payment security, ISO 27001 implementation, AWS and GCP security, cloud migration, encryption, tokenisation, key management, secure boot, and secure SDLC practices.
I build practical security governance, design authority, threat modelling, risk acceptance, customer assurance, and executive risk reporting capabilities that help engineering and product teams make proportionate, risk-based delivery decisions.
