Core to Cloud appoints Howe as CTO

Security outfit  Core to Cloud has appointed Phil Howe as Chief Technology Officer.

Howe said: “The tech Core to Cloud has in its product stack is best of breed and very innovative.  I had worked with Core to Cloud for the past five years and have been a customer when I was deputy CTO at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust.  At the Trust, we had a small IT security team. I needed a partner who could work alongside my team, who understood my needs, who I trusted, listened to, and came back with solid recommendations to help overcome some of the challenges we were facing.

Prior to joining Bolton NHS, Phil Howe was a senior IT specialist for Ehealth at NHS Dumfries and Galloway.

“Core to Cloud was an integral part of our team and hit the mark, bringing innovative solutions to us that were fit for purpose.  They helped us build out the security for the organisation, and I was so impressed with the company culture and ethos, not to mention its growth ambitions, that I decided this was the right place for my next career move. I’m excited about the opportunity.”

James Cunningham, Founder and Director, Core to Cloud said: “We are delighted that Phil has joined us. We work with many NHS Trusts, and it is great to have someone on the ground in our team who can relate to the challenges that some of these Trusts are facing.  Most have relatively small teams, a lack of time and resources, and are being hit daily with requests while also trying to defend against the bad guys, so it is great that Phil can immediately relate to this and has the experience to help remediate.”
