Louise Jones
Louise plans and organises company practices and processes and manages the day to day administration of the company.
Louise began her career in marketing and promotions for a FTSE Pub retailer. She then progressed to Project Management for the FTSE FMCG manufacturer Kraft Foods before becoming a Supply Chain Project Manager with a FTSE healthcare manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser.
More recently Louise worked within Technology Consultancy before joining Cyberbase Consulting in November 2020 as Operations Manager, and is now our Operations Director ensuring that the business continues to grow efficiently.
Louise Grassby
Louise partners directly with CTOs, programme directors and delivery leads to close the specialist capability gap in complex cyber security, cloud and transformation programmes. She originates and holds many of our client relationships, translating a delivery goal into the precise expertise needed to move it forward.
Her network is the asset rather than the market: a vetted community of architects, engineers, delivery leads and programme managers who are largely invisible to standard recruitment. She works across critical national infrastructure, financial services and enterprise cloud security, drawing on a career that began in investment banking and the global energy sector. She also writes publicly on AI governance and security engineering for an audience of several thousand security leaders.
Our consultants can demonstrate numerous case studies of successful engagements. Given the nature of security work, and to maintain client confidentiality and protect our clients' assets, we name clients only where it is appropriate to do so. References are available at C-suite level on request.
