More about John
About
I work at the intersection of cyber security, geopolitics, governance, and strategy. My career spans global banking, telecommunications, cloud infrastructure, insurance, and advisory work across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America.
I advise boards and senior executives on complex risk, resilience, digital sovereignty, intelligence, and the practical consequences of operating in a more fragmented world.
My approach is straightforward: understand the context, challenge assumptions, and focus on what materially changes the decision.
