I am currently based in the United States but my job search is entirely focused on Europe. Being a British citizen, it is my intention to return there to complete my career. I understand that many employers may find the prospect of a US-based candidate a little daunting and so I suggest this strategy. Employers, I presume, will screen candidates with telephone interviews at first (and, if that is not their intention perhaps they might consider it in this case) and so can talk with me on the phone. Where a mutual interest has been established, I am happy to travel to Europe for interviews.
In my resume - which I will send on request - you will see that I have twenty years' experience in information security - with a solid grounding gained in financial services organisations and a very successful period in consultancy. I have led two corporate business continuity and information security efforts and have had responsibility for two information security consultancy practices. In consultancy I have enjoyed success leading clients to establishing an effective information security architecture - many times having to deal with a senior management group who start out less than enthusiastic about the effort. I am my company's subject matter expert on information security policies and teach policy writing and implementation (as well as a number of other information security-related subjects.) I am very experienced in delivering information security as a business- enabler (believing that successful information security programs can only be built on the business need for them) and have co-authored books on a variety of security-related subjects. Please contact me if you wish to see a copy of my resume.
