As the Cyber Specialist at Ai Group's Business Consulting Unit, I lead our comprehensive cyber and information security advisory services. With over 30 years of experience across diverse industries—education, publishing, legal, heavy distribution, Defence equipment calibration, and more—I am passionate about helping small and medium sized organisations protect themselves from cyber threats.

Unfortunately, with all the benefits of Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0, comes the increased risk of sabotage, theft and attack. So over the past seven years my focus has been on cybersecurity: helping organisations uplift their security posture and meet compliance requirements.

I have extensive experience with a range of trusted security frameworks including the ACSC Essential Eight and the CIS Controls, and am an ardent believer in their strategic use to reduce threat risk in real and practical ways.

I enjoy directly assisting organisations on their journey through the complexities of IT security, as well as writing & facilitating training courses that help secure people and their businesses. My qualifications include the CISSP cybersecurity certification, an MBA in project-based management, a Bachelor of Science, a Graduate Diploma of Education, and the ACSC Essential-Eight Assessment endorsement.
