James Short Email & Phone Number

I am a highly adaptable and connected leader with 20 years Policing experience and intelligence/ investigative pedigree, who drives teams to produce innovative outcomes in customer-focused environments. I am an experienced Cyber Threat Intelligence practitioner with training from SANS and CSU in CTI. I have significant understanding about geopolitical impacts within the cyber context to governmental and private companies. I bring extensive experience in high level operations, training, policy and planning with in depth understanding of social media/OSINT investigative analytics. This enables me to identify risk to company VIPs and director level staff, accurately report findings and assist with mitigating potential exploitable information leaks around these entities. I have worked extensively and collaboratively with teams from the global law enforcement agencies (NYPD, FBI), Defence and national security-related government organisations.I have proven ability to influence through exemplary productivity, networking and communication skills, and able to translate a broad vision into practical, achievable outcomes in situations of intense pressure. I have transitioned into the cyber threat intelligence field from policing broadening my capability and understanding of cyber attacks from nation-nexus APTs and cyber criminals. These skills are added to my tool box as a counter terrorism expert with proven acumen in complex investigations, building and running a Covert Cyber Operations team, demonstrating innovation to solve complex problems in ambiguous, high-risk situations. I always strive to deliver the best results employing ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking for any organisation I work with and the community we serve, through steadfastness, dedication and high ethical standards whilst embracing a ‘Who Dares Wins’ attitude.

Listed skills include Itil, Windows Server, Active Directory, Analysis, and 27 others.
