01 / The work
Fifteen years, four continents
For more than fifteen years, I have worked across cybersecurity, critical infrastructure and highly regulated environments, helping organisations understand risks that are often difficult to see through conventional audits and compliance frameworks.
My background spans security research, adversary simulation, cyber-physical systems and executive risk. I have worked with global organisations and government environments, translating technical exposure into decisions that senior leaders can understand and act on.
Today, my work spans advisory, research and technology. I founded Cornhill Cyber to provide senior cybersecurity leadership and risk advisory, and co-founded Atumcell to build technology and conduct research around emerging security problems.
I remain technically active because I believe good security leadership requires understanding how systems actually fail — not simply how frameworks say they should operate.
I do not lead with tools. I help organisations determine what actually matters, and then decide what to do about it.
