Bruce leads our work on Cyber Security Governance, helping clients to understand and manage their Cyber risks in line with leading practice. At Black Arrow, we firmly believe that Cyber Security requires the aligned controls across People, Operations and Technology underpinned by Governance by the Board. Bruce has experience in all those areas, but he is particularly passionate about Governance because without that, the rest can fall apart.

Bruce has several leading qualifications in Cyber Security, as well as in HR and Finance.  He qualified as a Chartered Accountant with EY before enjoying a career in management consulting and project management, during which time he extended into HR consulting. Later, his Finance and HR careers merged when he was responsible for governance and financial management for the regional HR teams in HSBC before moving into Cyber Security. Bruce has a masters degree in HR and is Chair of the Guernsey branch of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD); he is the Guernsey Vice-Chair of the Channel Islands Information Security Forum (CIISF).

Experience is vitally important in Cyber Security because it is a complex subject. In his previous role as Head of Cyber Security Governance, Metrics and  Reporting at HSBC, Bruce designed and reported to the Group Board in London and Hong Kong on key metrics and papers on the maturity of Cyber Security for all countries and around a quarter of a million employees.
