David Cooper

As EY Americas Cybersecurity Strategy Activation Leader, I am focused on creating industry-specific answers to our client’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges. For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped global clients build industry-relevant cyber solutions to protect value in their business. I’ve helped my clients build secure products, protect their enterprise and delight their customers with safe and trusted experiences.

In my role at EY, I lead the activation of our cybersecurity strategy, working to build sector-specific assets and offerings to help our clients solve industry security challenges. I’ve done this across the banking, energy, health care, life sciences, media, telecommunications and technology industries. I also oversee the EY cybersecurity alliance ecosystem, partnering with the leading cybersecurity technology companies to build and deliver strategic capabilities to our shared clients.

How David is building a better working world

I am driving a change in how the cybersecurity industry protects how we work and live. By building sector-specific capabilities, we are better able to protect our health care systems, energy infrastructure and the digital products we use for work and fun. As a proud Houstonian and believing in second chances, I work with the incarcerated in local prisons to help prepare for their release and building their new lives.
