Summary
Patrick Lecuyer is a seasoned cloud and security leader based in Montreal, with over two decades of hands-on experience beginning from coding on a Commodore64 at age seven to shaping enterprise cloud security programs. Currently a Customer Outcome Engineering Specialist at Google Cloud and a lecturer who helped build École Polytechnique de Montréal’s cybersecurity curriculum, he blends practitioner-level technical depth with customer-facing program leadership. Formerly VP and Global Lead for Cloud Security Architecture at Morgan Stanley, Patrick has guided security strategy for major financial and regulatory organizations and scaled specialist teams across Canada and the U.S. He brings a rare mix of startup grit (co-founding and serving as CISO at FXinnovation) and large-enterprise impact, plus formal business training from HEC Montréal and executive security education at Tuck. Outside work he still follows his early passion for building systems, enjoys wide-ranging music and the outdoors, and maintains an educator’s curiosity that informs his approach to security and customer outcomes.
