Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Hay is a senior operating executive and security leader with over two decades of experience scaling global technology, cybersecurity, and managed services organisations. As COO of Damovo and former CISO/COO roles across cybersecurity firms, he partners with boards, private equity, and CEOs to translate strategy into measurable margin, risk, and growth outcomes across multi-region operations. He specialises in stabilisation and acceleration during ownership transitions, integrations, and restructurings, building operating models that enhance execution discipline, capital efficiency, and regulatory resilience. Andrew blends deep technical credentials in security, DFIR, DevOps and cloud with commercial leadership, having held research and engineering roles earlier in his career that keep him hands-on with cyber risk and tooling. Based in Austin with executive education from Berkeley, Johns Hopkins and Oxford, he is equally comfortable debating trade-offs with CFOs or coaching a rugby team off-hours. He is open to conversations with investors and boards on pragmatic, risk-aware scaling that preserves enterprise value.
