A career spanning cyber security and technology leadership across 20+ years in government, critical infrastructure, retail, and financial services. Most recently Director, Cyber Defence and Security Response at Transport for NSW, one of Australia's largest critical infrastructure operators, leading 30+ security professionals across cyber defence, incident response, vulnerability management, and MSSP governance, reporting directly to the CISO. Co-developed the FY25-27 cyber strategy and led the supporting business case securing multi-million-dollar investment approval to materially reduce cyber risk exposure across the organisation. I operate across the full spectrum of cyber security and IT leadership, from hands-on security operations, SOC leadership, and incident response, through to governance, risk, compliance, and board-level stakeholder engagement. Equally comfortable setting strategic direction and driving operational outcomes. Passionate about modernising cyber defence through automation, AI, and innovative security technologies, moving organisations from reactive postures to continuously improving, intelligence-led, risk-based security environments.
