Bridewell has appointed Ray Stanton as Board Adviser to support the company's growth strategy within Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).
Stanton draws on 30-plus years’ experience in cyber security, risk-management and commercial experience across roles at BT, National Grid, IBM, TDC Group and Airbus UK.
He aided in setting up global programmes on cyber resilience for the World Economic Forum and sat on the advisory board for the Information Security Forum.
In this role, his immediate priorities include driving further engagement and traction across critical infrastructure security services as well as supporting the setting up of a new Customer Advisory Board.
He said: “I have been on both sides of the cyber security business, as a supplier and an end-user, giving me insights into the cyber security market and how it is likely to develop. A vital part of our strategy must be to listen intensively to our customers.”
Anthony Young, CEO of Bridewell, said: “Ray combines extensive knowledge of cyber security in CNI with genuine commercial acumen and business intuition. I know his contribution as an adviser to the board will be invaluable.”
