Summary
π€
Seniorπ
Top SchoolPatrick St John is a cybersecurity executive with two decades of experience protecting national security systems and financial infrastructure, currently serving as Managing Director and Distinguished Engineer leading Morgan Stanleyβs global hunt, detection and data engineering teams. He combines an offensive cyber background from senior DoD red-team leadership with enterprise-grade engineeringβarchitecting a detection platform that ingests petabytes weekly, earning 20+ patents and preventing over $1.5B in fraud. Patrick has scaled teams from small founding groups to 100+ engineers across multiple continents while maintaining sub-10% attrition, and drove a data lake migration that saved $24M annually. Comfortable translating technical risk into board-level strategy, he navigates both government and private-sector politics to build consensus around security initiatives. An early fascination sparked by a university malware incident still informs his adversary-first approach to detection and threat hunting. He also serves on the board of a community environmental nonprofit, reflecting a wider interest in public service beyond cyber.
