Christopher has an extensive career in the defence and security industry. As the former global head of special projects for a world leading UK/US defence company he was responsible for overseeing the company's Intelligence and Security programs globally.

Christopher was recognized in 2012 by UKDTI for his commercial approach and delivery of high-profile strategy to detecting and mitigating technical and physical risks to the delivery of the Olympic games; including the sensitive management of the Counter Hostile Reconnaissance initiative.

Christopher's entry in 2009 into the private security sector followed an extensive Military Intelligence career managing Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance projects internationally.

Chris has been at the forefront of the UK's success in active and defensive cyber operations. Starting his government career at the age of 17, Chris spent over 15 years in the UK's lead cyber intelligence agency, becoming the operational technical lead. Throughout his time in government, Chris developed a unique understanding of cyber threats and requisite tactics, techniques and procedures. Working to develop bespoke software and solutions, Chris supported an agency strategy to increase cyber capability through a 'downskilling' approach. This saw a significant lift in the agency's ability to meet an ever-growing intelligence demand.

Before leaving government service, Chris was actively involved in the UK's national cyber defence programme in identifying and removing hostile state cyber actors from the UK's Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).

Since leaving government Chris has been pivotal in driving change in our understanding and response to cyber risks, through the delivery of 'downskilling' and cross-corporate communicable cyber assurance platforms; capable of reducing loss prevention and cyber fraud.
