Meet our Founder & CISO
.jpg)
With 20+ years of cybersecurity thought leadership, Adam has had the privilege of working alongside some of the most disruptive and respected names in the industry — including IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Verizon, Honeywell, NTT Data, and a Foreign Defence JV.
Throughout his career, he has served as the advisor in more than 20 active cyber incidents and ransomware attacks, as well as leading hundreds of simulations and war rooms. This unique exposure — including direct observation of elite forensic investigators and hackers — has shaped his ability to guide CIOs, CISOs, and Boards through moments of critical risk with clarity, precision, and foresight.
As the CISO of Green Cyber Consulting, Adam works with vulnerable sectors across Higher Ed, Critical Infrastructure, Healthcare, Government, and SMBs — helping them build resilience through on-demand, technology-agnostic cybersecurity leadership. Our Virtual CISO model makes world-class security leadership accessible without the barrier of fixed retainers, empowering businesses to own their outcomes and regain control.

Executive Coaching & Industry Engagement
In parallel, Adam is deeply passionate about executive coaching, industry mentorship, and career development. Having led the hiring of hundreds of cyber professionals, he now help others do what they do best — from cross-skilling newcomers, to accelerating established leaders toward promotions and work-life balance. Whether it’s personal branding, resume writing, or helping you discover your authentic value, Adam is committed to guiding others on finding their ideal path into and through a cybersecurity career.
Whether you’re navigating a security challenge, leading an organisation through change, or looking to grow your career in cybersecurity, we would be honoured to help.

Having spent more than two decades working for some the world’s biggest, and most disruptive vendors and system integrators, Adam has borne witness to the rapid rate of change in technology and digital innovation, as well as the tactics and methods in which these dominant players fight to remain profitable. So it is no surprise that he was always on the side of the client…….which, as it turns out, doesn’t make you popular with your employers.
With his ethics and ethical compass firmly driving all engagements, that friction finally led to Adam putting it all on the line and starting his own consultancy that is focused entirely on putting the client at the centre of everything. No vendor alignments, no back-end kickbacks, instead offering truly unbiased cybersecurity leadership and advisory to those that need it most.
With the rise in cyber-attacks and continued exposure to the complexity we have built into our digital assets, all businesses need access to a cybersecurity leader, yet very few organisations afford this. This is how Green Cyber Consulting was born. Cybersecurity Leadership and Advisory on demand, available for as little as one single 1 hour engagement.
