Sebastian Coles is a Director of Engineering and vCISO consultant with eight years of experience building security-first engineering teams and delivering measurable DevSecOps outcomes across fintech and enterprise organisations. He combines hands-on expertise across InfoSec, infrastructure and software engineering with people leadership and product-minded strategy, regularly translating technical risk into board-level priorities. At ClearBank he led the team behind a Highly Commended DevSecOps implementation and drove major reductions in open-source vulnerabilities through tooling and process change. He now leads engineering at Seccl while co-founding Coach Candor and running Scoles Advisory to help organisations stand up interim security leadership and 30/60/90-day remediation plans. A frequent conference speaker and former national cyber competition finalist, he’s as comfortable building automation pipelines and IaC as he is influencing Layer 8 — the human systems that make security stick.
