Adam Prickett
Chief Information Security Officer (Interim)
United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorAdam Prickett is a pragmatic security leader and interim CISO with nine years of hands-on experience bridging technical delivery and business strategy within nationally significant infrastructure. He has led security functions at the National Energy System Operator and National Grid, specialising in resilience, incident readiness, NIS-R compliance and supplier risk for complex, high-assurance environments. Earlier in his career he built cloud infrastructure and operational tooling across AWS, Azure and DigitalOcean and founded/led SaaS and web businesses, giving him rare empathy for product teams and commercial pressures. Adam is known for making security an enabler—shifting left with DevSecOps, embedding security culture, and translating technical risk into clear executive reporting. He combines board-level business experience (including running companies and fundraising) with deep technical craftsmanship, so his decisions balance practicality, auditability and scale. Colleagues describe him as evidence-driven and unafraid to prioritise the simplest effective control in place of theatre.
