Thank you for checking out my profile! I’m a UK qualified lawyer with over 30 years experience, spanning 10 years at the Bar as a trial lawyer and 20+ years as a solicitor operating exclusively in the field of information law, privacy, data protection and cyber security as a solicitor and management consultant. For 5+ years I was the global cyber security and data protection legal services leader in a Big 4 multi-disciplinary practice. Along the way, I’ve led three legal practices to recognition as leaders in the main legal directories, as well as being personally ranked by the directories as one of the UK’s leading lawyers these areas since 2010. Other aspects of my experience include: Co-Founder and NED of The Cyber Security Challenge UK, part of HMG’s National Cyber Security Strategy; Honourary President of The National Association of Data Protection Officers; a member of the EDPB’s expert pool for data protection technology and legal matters; advisor to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office; author/ co-author of 9 text books; and a past winner of the Financial Times Legal Innovator of The Year award. My practice includes counselling businesses on the design, build and operation of data processing and security systems; advising on cyber security incident response strategy and law; representing clients in regulatory investigations and litigation arising from privacy and security breaches; and providing general legal advice on any issues in these areas, such as direct marketing, AdTech, subject rights, international data transfers and breach reporting. As well as my professional qualifications as a Barrister and Solicitor, I have a Masters Degree in Computer and Communications law and I am currently reading for my MSc in Cyber Security. Please consider the “honours and awards” section of my profile for annual accolades from the legal directories.

As a seasoned technology executive with a passion for transformation and innovation, I have spent my career at the intersection of business strategy and cutting-edge technology. With a relentless focus on driving digital evolution, I specialize in crafting and executing dynamic strategies that empower organizations to thrive in the digital age. With a proven track record in leading diverse teams and driving growth, I am committed to shaping the future of digital and innovation within organizations. My leadership is rooted in a blend of strategic thinking, technological acumen, and a commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement. I thrive in dynamic environments, where change is an opportunity, not a challenge. My journey is defined by a series of successes in leveraging emerging technologies to deliver meaningful business outcomes, and I am eager to apply this expertise to the CTO, CIO, CDIO role.

I’m also an advisory board member for a number of big digital disruptors. On a personal note I’m passionate about my family and the sport I compete in, i.e. triathlon. During my road towards my world championship qualification Ironman in 2015 I got inspired to turn my results into something more than a finisher trophy and truly race for those who can’t by raising money for various charity organizations and teaming with big sports brands.
