London, England, United Kingdom

About

As CEO of Cyjax, I lead a mission-driven team focused on turning threat intelligence into business advantage. In a digital landscape overwhelmed by alert fatigue, we deliver clarity. empowering organisations to take decisive, strategic action against evolving cyber threats. With 17+ years of experience in payments and financial services, including leadership roles at Mastercard, Amex, Travelex and more, I bring a unique commercial lens to cybersecurity. I understand both the economic risks and operational realities our clients face, helping them navigate complex ecosystems where partnerships are key. My aim is to translate threat intelligence for boards and business leaders, turning it from a technical function into a critical part of strategic planning by providing tangible impact. I'm particularly interested in how emerging threats intersect with financial ecosystems, fraud, and digital transformation.
