Top SchoolSimon Mcgi is a commercially minded systems and cyber security engineer with nearly two decades of experience delivering complex, software-intensive systems across enterprise, cloud and tactical environments. As founder and director of multiple consultancies he has sole accountability for designing, developing and accrediting systems to ISO9001, ISO27001 and UK MOD standards, earning trusted supplier status on major defence frameworks.
