After a career that included supporting NATO peacekeeping operations in the Balkans, to leading security & resilience advisory projects across EMEA & APAC, I launched a SaaS-enabled digital marketplace for Security, Resilience & Defence solutions. The unique platform helps stakeholders scale their Sales & Marketing, and Operational capability across conflict zones to cyberspace, to organise and generate demand for diverse and niche expertise.
What I offer
Security Product / Programme Management
My sweet spot, and much of my experience, is the establishment of capability from the ground up, from initial client outreach, to strategic consulting, to systems design and delivery, client/stakeholder engagement, pitching and proposal writing, marketing and developing sales.
Strategic Consulting and Planning (Business Resilience)
As a strategic advisor, I provide Governance, Risk and Compliance guidance, at Board level, within complex critical infrastructure environments, involving the establishment of the capability required to deliver effective and valued security risk management to recognised international standards.
I have fused my passion for digital product management with 15+ years' post-military experience of security risk consultancy, operational resilience, counter terrorism, information security and programme management in multinational, multi-agency, high threat environments across EMEA.
I help organistions defend business value against operational disruption, through consulting & technology-enabled resilience solutions. My career has been about helping companies operate in dynamic security environments, by designing/applying [digital] systems to help protect business assets
My career contains a multitude of complex security risk management projects, for the US DOD in Iraq, to Commercial & NGO clients, incl. support to the UNAMA (Afghanistan), to UK and Saudi CNI (LNG Import terminals) to the multi-agency Trans Adriatic Gas Pipeline project across Southern Europe.
I established an office in Tirana, Albania, to run the resilience consultancy business across Europe. My focus is on local and regional business development, to understand the market and the sales of resilience services, specifically but not exclusively related to cyber defence capability.
Working with offshore dev teams, I architected a complex SaaS application comprising a "supplier marketplace" of over 3500 Safety, Security, and Defence companies, with secure data exchange capability. I continue to develop the GTM, product strategy (a hybrid PLG motion), and sales pipeline.
As a resident of Tirana, I have been giving back to the community by attempting to help coach the members of the only Rugby Club in Albania - they have no one to play against, but it doesn't stop the brutal training regime!
