Cyber security outfit BlueVoyant has tapped industry specialist Jon Leather as its Head of European Supply Chain Defence Advisory.
Leather joins BlueVoyant from Standard Chartered Bank, where he served as the Head of Third-Party Information Security Risk Oversight. Previously, he spent more than a decade at Lloyds Banking Group, focusing on cyber risk and leading information and cyber security supplier assurance programmes.
Leather is highly experienced around the components and mechanisms that make up an organisation’s third-party cyber risk relationships.
Leather chaired the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Supply Chain Risk Working Group for Financial Services, an initiative he will continue to be involved with in an advisory capacity.
He also has experience collaborating with the Cross Market Operational Resilience Group (CMORG) connecting financial institutions, including major banks, to define and publish best practices for addressing third-party and supply chain risk.
BlueVoyant Global Head, Supply Chain Defence Joel Molinoff said Leather’s wealth of experience and knowledge, especially in financial services, will further strengthen this service and the support we deliver to clients.
Leather said: “BlueVoyant’s offering and reputation is continuously growing in this market. I’m delighted to join the company and to start developing deeper strategic relationships and business with both existing and new clients.”
