Summary
Matteo P is a Head of Cyber Security with 20+ years of hands-on experience protecting organizations across banking, defense, telecoms, fashion and critical national infrastructure, now leading DEEP’s security mission from London. He blends technical depth—from SOC operations and incident response to vulnerability management and secure architecture—with commercial acumen developed in roles at Skybox, Wipro and as a Technical Director supporting classified national security programs. Matteo has scaled teams and services, moved vulnerability programs from millions of potential findings to a focused set of contextualised risks, and routinely frames security investments in ROI terms to drive adoption. He also shapes the profession nationally as a member of the UK Cyber Security Council’s Management TAP, helping define standards and certify licensed bodies. Comfortable both in the trenches (pentester, “bug wrestler”, still battling Vim) and at the CISO table, he brings a pragmatic, learn-by-doing ethos and a track record of translating complex threats into actionable risk reduction.
