Field CISO

Peter brings a global perspective that few in the industry develop. He has worked across Australia and the Middle East, gaining insight into how cyber threats affect sectors that keep countries running. His experience spans Federal Government, banking, payments and electricity, placing him at the intersection of critical systems rather than in a single lane. Peter has an ability to cut through noise with clarity and directness, shaped in part by time spent in regions where cyber conflict is not an abstract concept but a lived reality. He brings a sharp, unfiltered view of what matters most.
