I am a highly experienced Cyber Security Project Manager, well-versed in change management and process optimisation, implementing complex strategic initiatives, defining requirements, and navigating chaos with composure.Currently I operate as an independent contractor supplying project management and process consulting in Cyber Security service to clients operating across a wide range of sectors, including the highly regulated financial services. In my contracts I supply expertise on all aspects of cyber security delivery and project management, including risk assessment and management, network security, endpoint and application security, identity and access management (IAM), and incident response.I achieve success by combining more than 10 years’ progressive experience gained in a wide-range of cutting edge environments, with a hands-on leadership style, to strengthen digital landscapes against evolving digital threats.For example, as Cyber Security Delivery Manager with PWC I streamlined security infrastructure and minimised attack vectors by strategically decommissioning local Active Directory (AD) domains under demanding conditions.My forte is bringing people together and creating a collaborative environment that drives success. This trait was demonstrated as Project Manager and Process Consultant with Worldpay when I championed delivery of a systematic approach to penetration testing to ensure comprehensive testing for all IT developments and annual PCI compliance.Aside from the technical and analytical aspects of my role (e.g. cyber security, major IT transformation programmes, testing methodologies, process design, and business impact assessments), my effective communication skills instil confidence with stakeholders and colleagues, to translate jargon, generate synergy, and create an environment of trust, respect, and co-operation.I am currently seeking to leverage my skills to secure a new assignment / role, if my profile matches your requirements, please contact me for a chat and a copy of my CV.Specialities:Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience / IT Transformation Programmes / Utilising and Adapting IT Testing Methodologies / PM Methodologies, e.g. Agile, and PRINCE2 / Vendor and Stakeholder Management / Regulations and Compliance / Project Management and Delivery / Creating effective teams / Facilitation (Achieving Common Goals) / Leadership, Development, and Motivation / Solutions-based Thinking Approach / Process Design, e.g. Effective Workflows / Business Impact Assessments
