Heads of Security/CISO
My Background
I am a Senior Technology Recruiter with over 15 years of industry experience. My career has focused on Infrastructure and Security and recently moving into the Cloud space. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing customers and candidates which has allowed me to develop my skills, knowledge and position me as a true expert in the industry. A key focus of early career has been in the world of consultancy which I feel has given me the skills and knowledge to communicate with a wide range of clients and has taught me to adapt due to the ever changing nature of consulting.
As a hands-on Recruiter my focus is toward Senior Appointments across Security and Cloud Architecture through to Management/Director level.
I graduated from Brunel University in 2008 and majored in the Business and Globalisation of Sport (Totally related to Recruitment!) I also took on a module for Psychology in Sports Coaching. I was a very keen cricketer and played to youth county level until the unescapable lure of Beer and partying at University put a stop to that!
Why I joined Pioneer
I joined pioneer for the very simple fact that it was a grown up/adult environment at a point in my career where I wanted the opportunity to develop further skills including management and leadership. What was very apparent was the clear direction that Mark wanted to take Pioneer. It is a very honest and collaborative environment which was attractive to me. Nearly 6 years on, it certainly is the opportunity and environment that was sold to me!
Outside of work
Outside of work I spend a lot of time with family and friends and enjoy experiencing good food and wine.
