  • Assess cybersecurity maturity, regulatory exposure, technology risks, and operational resilience of prospective acquisition targets.
  • Deliver actionable recommendations that enable informed investment decisions and accelerated value creation.

Portfolio Value Creation
  • Partner with PE sponsors and portfolio company executives to develop cyber transformation and risk reduction roadmaps.
  • Design and oversee cybersecurity improvement programs that support growth, scalability, and exit readiness.
  • Guide executives in strengthening cyber governance, third-party risk management, incident response, cloud security, identity management, and regulatory compliance.
  • Advise boards and management teams on cybersecurity strategy and enterprise risk.

Practice Leadership
  • Build, lead, and mentor a team of cybersecurity consultants and engagement leaders.
  • Establish methodologies, service offerings, intellectual property, and delivery standards.
  • Drive recruitment, talent development, and succession planning initiatives.
  • Contribute to overall firm strategy and participate as a senior member of the leadership team.

Thought Leadership
  • Represent the firm in industry conferences, private equity events, and executive forums.
  • Publish insights on cybersecurity trends, transaction-related cyber risks, and emerging threats affecting PE-backed organizations.
  • Develop market-facing content that strengthens the firm's brand and market presence.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in information security, Computer Science, Business, Engineering, or related field.
  • 15+ years of progressive experience in cybersecurity consulting, advisory services, risk management, or related fields.
  • 7+ years serving private equity firms, investment organizations, or PE-backed portfolio companies.
  • Established network within private equity firms, operating partner communities, investment bankers, and PE-backed portfolio companies.
  • Experience at a leading consulting firm, cybersecurity advisory practice, Big Four firm, or specialized PE advisory organization.
  • Demonstrated success generating and managing a significant consulting revenue portfolio.
