The South West Cyber Resilience Centre has appointed Craig Sharp to their management Board to contribute to the strategic direction of the centre. Board members are drawn from leading companies with a strong interest in the South West region, and demonstrate their commitment to protect the regional economy. Craig works for Leonardo, an international leader in aerospace, defence and security, where he is Head of Programmes in their Police and Homeland Security division.
‘We’re delighted that Craig has joined our Board.’ Said Mark Moore, Director at the SWCRC. ‘Craig has worked in the UK defence and security sector for his entire career and brings a wealth of experience that will greatly help us as we grow our membership in the South West.’
Craig works with key accounts to deliver key projects to optimise security, cyber resilience and big data analytics solutions. He began in the defence avionics sector with Marconi and BAE Systems before moving into the security, civil and defence sectors with Thales, Selex and Capita.
‘I am passionate about cyber, security and resilience, and I believe in the critical importance of building and maintaining relationships and compliance right across the supply chain. I am looking forward to developing the excellent work undertaken so far by the South West Cyber Resilience Centre, and helping to ensure as many organisations in the region are aware of the support that is available to them in order safeguard their business and the businesses they engage with from current and emerging cyber and security threats.’ Said Mr Sharp.
