I’m the CISO & DPO at Home Bargains, where I lead cybersecurity and data protection across a fast-moving retail and logistics environment. My mission is straightforward: keep things secure, simple, and scalable.

I see my role as part technologist, part storyteller, and part culture builder. Security only works when people understand it — so I spend as much time shaping mindset as I do managing risk.

Over the past few years, I’ve helped turn security from a compliance checkbox into a shared responsibility, translating complex risks into clear priorities that everyone — from engineers to senior leaders — can act on.

For technical audiences, I talk about what works (and what doesn’t) when building real-world resilience — from maturing controls to proactive threat hunting. For executive audiences, I share lessons on aligning security with growth and innovation without slowing the business down.

I believe clarity builds confidence, culture drives control, and bad jokes keep people awake during long presentations. My goal is to make security relatable, sustainable, and maybe even a little more enjoyable along the way.
