About

Currently in a CISO role within Engie Impact and operating as one of many CISO's in the wider Engie group. Current role has been to stand up Security incident management policy and process within Impact. Ensure the team interacts well with the group GSOC on incidents. Setup a team of analysts to monitor contractual "IT clauses" and absorb questionnaire demands. Maturing process's around vulnerability management as well as SOC1 compliance. Previously I was running a team to look after all global IT matters within Red Engineering including absorption into Engie group after being acquired by Tractebel. Just shy of 2 years after that, Impact was formed and Red moved as an Entity within Impact and my role changed to a more security focus one. Previous experience has been varied and technical from devops in finance then to IT. To working in a cisco/business support role up and down the UK. To various IT manager roles.
