David is an information & cyber security leader who is passionate about helping organisations create resilient digital environments and thriving security cultures across their digital lives.
As Kiwibank’s CISO & Head of Tech Op Risk & Compliance, David’s work helps to secure New Zealand’s largest domestic bank in one of cybercrime’s most targeted industries around the world. Success depends on innovation, collaboration, and a thriving security-conscious culture across the breadth of the organisation.
Having been in incident response since the Y2K bug was set to impact banking and financial services around the world, David has seen his fair share of war rooms, but undeniably most of his meaningful crisis management experience comes from parenthood.
