His path into cyber began while serving in the British Army, where he developed a keen appreciation for operational discipline and strategic thinking. He has since worked with countless teams as a Principal Security and Senior GRC Consultant, delivering cyber security assessments, analysis, reviews and remediation / improvement strategies for clients around the world, from emerging start-ups to FTSE 100.

At CyberKainos, Nick oversees all aspects of the company to ensure that each client engagement exceeds expectations. He advises on cyber strategy, tactics, and operations to help our clients strengthen their information security programs and bolster overall resilience. As an interim CISO and ‘vCISO’, he has led and managed cyber security teams, and has extensive experience within  FCA / PRA regulated entities, e-commerce retailers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Head of Sales & Marketing

Mark Rennie

Mark has worked with Nick for many years and was at the very first CyberKainos meeting. He had an extensive background in senior sales, marketing, and lead generation roles across automotive, retail, and cybersecurity. He oversees the CyberKainos sales and marketing strategy, operations, brand, communications, digital activities, website, and events.

At the weekend he doesn’t need an alarm clock thanks to his 4 and 7 year old girls, but when time allows you will find him either on the golf course, on a training run, watching the cricket (test matches not T20) or behind the sofa after trying to get through a Manchester United game.
