Their approach ensures that security is not an afterthought, but a continuous and integral part to business operations, which is aligned to the new SbD methodology.
Here is what Advent IM’s CEO and Co-Founder, Mike Gillespie, had to say about the new additions to their Director’s board;
“As Advent IM embarks on the next phase of our growth plan, ensuring we have the right leaders, with the values, qualities and experience to deliver our vision, is incredibly important. The addition of 3 new Directors increases our diversity of thought, will expand our strategic capability and provides a robust leadership framework to support that growth.”
