I’m the co-founder and CEO at CyXcel. We're a next-gen professional advisory business, headquartered in London and Atlanta, that brings together expertise in law, technology, and geopolitics. Why? Because cyber is about so much more than just security. We help organisations manage the risks and capture the opportunities of our connected world.My career began in the UK as a lawyer focused on infrastructure and technology disputes, which ignited my passion for understanding and solving cyber challenges.My journey has been anything but conventional. Along the way I've led teams through complex corporate transformations and many high-profile cyber incidents, including nation-state intrusions and ransomware. Through these experiences, I’ve come to realise that cyber is as much about people as it is about technology—building strong, resilient teams is key to staying ahead of modern threats.At CyXcel, I focus on creating a collaborative environment where our people excel in their careers while helping our clients tackle complex problems with agility and confidence. I believe that true resilience is always human-centred and done well, not only protects organisations from threats but also empowers them to seize new opportunities for growth.Beyond CyXcel, I serve as Director of the Cyber Monitoring Centre, a non-profit dedicated to improving resilience against systemic cyber risks. This role allows me to contribute to strengthening digital security on a national scale.I've been fortunate to be recognised by Legal 500 as “brilliant, commercial, and a tough negotiator,” but what really drives me is the opportunity to make a tangible difference—whether it's helping clients grow stronger in the face of cyber threats or supporting initiatives that improve the security of the wider community.If you’re interested in how we can collaborate to address today’s cyber challenges, I’d love to connect.
