Edward brings deep expertise in cyber risk, regulatory strategy and digital crisis response. At CyXcel, he leads on complex cybersecurity engagements, helping organizations anticipate, manage and recover from cyber incidents, combining legal, technical and operational perspectives into a holistic risk approach.

We’re lucky to be joining together some of the sharpest, most experienced minds working at the intersection of cybersecurity and the law. Our Group includes rockstars of the cybersecurity legal world - lawyers, technologists and thought leaders who are shaping how we think about digital risk, resilience and law."
