ABOUT GARETH EVANS

Security Architecture leader with over 20 years experience spanning, telecoms, enterprise architecture and large scale security transformation. I began my career in telecoms and network engineering, developing deep expertise in large-scale networks and network security. That operational grounding shaped a pragmatic architectural mindset focused on resilience, scalability and performance.I later transitioned into enterprise architecture leadership, defining market unit technology strategies and multi-year roadmaps across networking, end user services, hosting, cloud platforms and shared application estates. This broadened my scope from domain delivery to enterprise-wide transformation, governance and strategic planning.In recent years, my focus has been enterprise security transformation. I have led the uplift of the security architecture function, establishing structured governance, domain blueprints and target state architectures aligned to business growth and regulatory expectations.My role sits at the intersection of business strategy, cyber risk and transformation delivery, ensuring security is embedded into growth, modernisation and operational change rather than applied retrospectively.
