Graeme Mcgibbney is a cyber risk and governance leader with over a decade of experience shaping security strategies for large, global organisations such as WPP and Matillion. He specialises in operationalising GRC and embedding risk-prioritised approaches across complex, cloud-native environments, interfacing regularly with CIOs and business leads to drive measurable security improvements. His hands-on background spans ISO 27001 and PCI DSS compliance, NIDS and vulnerability tooling, and the practical rollout of frameworks like NIST CSF and CIS CSC. At Matillion he built and managed analyst teams to mature GRC processes, and at WPP he advises on security for 110,000 employees across 110+ countries—evidence of his ability to scale governance for enterprise complexity. Unusually for someone in senior governance, he has kept technical grounding through early OSINT-driven threat intelligence work and recent data science upskilling.
