A working relationship for the person in the seat.
Confidential, structured, and paced to a role that does not pause for development activity.
Sitting, newly appointed, and incoming CISOs
- CISOs and Heads of Security in enterprise, government, or ASX-listed environments
- Leaders in the first 18 months of the role, when board exposure and isolation peak
- Senior security leaders being prepared for the CISO seat
- Sponsored engagements where the organisation wants the leader to last
The load the job does not advertise
- Decision fatigue — what you own, what you escalate, what you stop doing
- Board and executive conversations that have to land the first time
- Pace, recovery, and the habits that keep tenure viable
- Isolation of the role: few peers inside the organisation can be used as a sounding board
What working together looks like
Cadence
Typically fortnightly sessions of 60–90 minutes, over an initial 6–12 months. Adjusted when incident load makes a slot impossible — the relationship does not punish the job.
Format
Video or in person in Perth. Between sessions: a short written recap and one or two agreed actions. No platform, no app, no group theatre unless you ask for it.
Commercials
Self-funded or employer-sponsored. Pricing on application after an introductory call. I will not quote a package before I understand the role.
