Ian Matthews

Passionate about cybersecurity, customer success, and business transformation, I specialise in bridging the gap between technical security solutions and real-world business impact.

I’m the CPO / CTO for SecuraNova where we are transforming the way businesses access cybersecurity services, delivering tailored, cost-effective, and scalable solutions that put control back in the hands of customers.

With a strong background in cybersecurity leadership, customer success, business analysis, and AI-driven process improvement, I thrive on solving complex challenges, optimising operations, and driving strategic growth.

I’ve spent over 20 years in cybersecurity, working for GCHQ, the Cabinet Office and others, also growing and leading global teams at Synack. I’ve personally experienced rigid contracts, incomplete delivery, inconsistent quality and long wait times which directly impact company security.

At SecuraNova, we’ve built a next-generation cybersecurity marketplace - a platform that directly connects businesses with top-tier security experts, ensuring predictable, high-quality security outcomes without the complexity. We offer easily accessible, transparent services, underpinned by our personal and company values to treat people fairly and with respect.

I'm driven by the challenge of tackling intricate security issues, spearheading business evolution, and equipping customers with the tools to strengthen their security posture. I excel in fostering innovation, refining processes, and collaborating with outstanding teams to build a more secure digital landscape.

I’d love the opportunity to talk you through what we can do and how we can bolster your security - let’s connect and start that journey.
