Chris began his career with a multinational technology company before joining the police service in the mid-1990s. During his 30-year policing career, he served across a variety of departments, often specialising in technology-focused roles and embracing emerging innovations.
Driven by a passion for technology and problem-solving, Chris joined the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit as a Police Cyber Security Advisor. There, he helped deliver the UK's National Cyber Security Strategy, working closely with businesses and organisations to improve awareness, encourage positive behaviour change, and strengthen cyber resilience. Chris later joined the South East Cyber Resilience Centre as Director and Head of Cyber and Innovation.
Having retired from policing after a 30-year career and as a member of the International Cyber Expo's Advisory Council, Chris now continues to help organisations reduce risk, improve preparedness, and respond more effectively when incidents occur as the Director of the Cyber Resilience Centre for the South East.
His approach combines practical guidance, real-world experience and clear communications, making cyber resilience understandable, actionable, and relevant.
