This includes advising clients on topics ranging from security strategy and organizational design to technical security solution design, delivery and implementation.
Enhancements Financial Services Organizations
As a seasoned program manager, he has led some of the UK’s largest security transformation programs including multi-million-pound capability enhancements for oil and gas, utilities, energy, pharma and financial services organizations.

Sean Sutton, Cyber Security Partner at PwC, said: “I'm excited to be taking on this role at such an interesting time. Companies are going through a rapid period of change and disruption, which presents new cyber challenges and opportunities. Increasingly there is a need for businesses to work smarter to respond to these challenges and align cyber priorities to their corporate strategy."
"I am confident we can play an important and valuable role in helping our clients navigate this ever-changing environment, especially as they adapt and grow to face the future. It is exciting to be joining the firm at such a pivotal time for its regional growth aspirations. The firm is putting more people, technology and expertise into strategic sites, including its new landmark Birmingham office at One Chamberlain Square."
Accelerate Digital Transformation
Matthew Hammond, Midlands Region Chairman and Senior Partner for PwC, said: “I am delighted to welcome Sean to PwC and particularly to focus on clients here in the Midlands and other UK markets. As our 23rd Global CEO survey highlighted 80% of UK CEOs are concerned about the risks of cyber threats to their business, Sean joins the team to lead our clients through the acute and dynamically changing risks and opportunities to leverage technology successfully."
"Businesses are wrestling with the speed of technological change, a relative scarcity of specialist key skills and a desire to accelerate digital transformation. Supporting our clients to improve cyber resilience and build strong technology infrastructure is critical to helping achieve sustainable growth. Sean and the team are a key element in providing these business critical services.”
