Cyber Vantage Limited

I work with founders, investors and C-suite executives, as an Advisor, Non-Executive Director, and interim leader to help them drive growth, refine strategy, and achieve their ambitions.

By combining a consultative approach with hands-on expertise, I help businesses:

•	Shape strategic plans to unlock new opportunities and build competitive advantage.
•	Develop and implement sales strategies that drive sustainable revenue growth.
•	Execute go-to-market initiatives that deliver measurable impact and scalability.

I also mentor leadership and sales teams, optimise organisational structures, and provide support in closing high-value deals and key accounts

Pentesec Limited

Co-founder of Pentesec, an award-winning cyber services provider, scaled from inception to double-digit million revenue. Bootstrapped from the ground up, Pentesec achieved consistent year-on-year EBITDA growth alongside top-line revenue expansion. This journey culminated in a strategic trade sale to Charterhouse, an August Equity-backed business, further solidifying its position as a market leader in cybersecurity and SOC services.

Thank you for looking at my profile. 

I am an energetic, seasoned, and empathetic business leader with two decades of industry expertise - 15 years dedicated to cybersecurity and a decade within the IT Channel. My passion lies in integrating people with technology solutions and services, ensuring service excellence at every step.

Cyber Vantage was formed to empower Channel Partners and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to achieve their full growth potential.

Previously I headed a management team that successfully built a disruptive award-winning cyber reseller, that was acquired and successfully transitioned to a market-leading SOC services provider.

Experience in Strategy and Planning, Sales, Portfolio & Product Management, M&A, finance, COO and general business management.

Congrats to all the CRN UK 2025 Channel Awards winners recognised yesterday. It was a strong showing across the board, and the standard this year was super high.

As always, it was a privilege to serve as a judge and to see first-hand the calibre of organisations operating in our industry. Competing at that level is no small achievement, and everyone in contention should be proud of the benchmark they’re setting, with loads to be proud of and not in the easiest of climates.

As always, the CRN team delivered a well-executed event. The scale and coordination required are significant, and the professionalism behind the scenes deserves major credit.

A great evening, and now back to the day job.

Until next year!
