Andy will work closely with the global Advisory Cybersecurity colleagues as we grow our EMEIA capabilities, particularly in information protection and governance, managed services and strategic alliances.”

Andy says: “This exciting opportunity at EY comes at a disruptive time for the cybersecurity industry. In these testing times, we must provide leadership and proven experience to help EY clients navigate the risks that are happening at an accelerated speed. This will mean continuing to provide the best possible insights to EY clients, both from within and outside of our organization. We will need to be agile and responsive to their changing requirements and I look forward to demonstrating the benefits that EY provides clients through its highly connected consulting organization.”
