Phil Meadows is a hands-on cyber security lead with 11+ years of experience blending software engineering, DevOps and IT operations to deliver secure cloud and hybrid systems in regulated environments. He has built security and privacy programs end-to-end—from secure SDLC, SOC capabilities and incident response to board-level risk reporting—across startups and critical national infrastructure. At Alfresco and National Grid he implemented ISMS, SOC2 and compliance frameworks (including HIPAA readiness), while at Oval Money he embedded automated SAST/SCA and cloud configuration scanning into CI/CD pipelines. Currently leading security for Motors (and supporting Gumtree), he combines a developer’s pragmatism with an architect’s governance mindset to make security operationally effective. Trained at Oxford (MSc, GCHQ-certified) and active on GitHub, he pairs rigorous academic security training with decades of production engineering experience. An often overlooked strength is his ability to translate technical risk into clear business decisions that drive measurable remediation and resilience.
