What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and supports professional growth in cyber security.

I am a successful cyber security leader with a wealth of experience across defense, consulting, and both private and public organizations. My current role as Head of Cyber Security and IT Resilience at SA Power Networks has allowed me to lead a team of 25-30 professionals while managing significant operational and capital budgets. I have developed and executed strategic initiatives that have not only enhanced our cyber security posture but also aligned with the Australian Energy Sector Cyber Security Framework, achieving a maturity level of 1.95 ahead of schedule.

My journey has been marked by a commitment to stakeholder engagement and community growth in the cyber security sector. I actively contribute to the Australian Information Security Association as the Adelaide Branch Chair and engage in various speaking opportunities at conferences on topics such as IT resilience and privacy. I take pride in building high-performing teams, fostering a culture of excellence, and driving measurable outcomes that align with organizational goals.
