Bio
Simon Harvey
I worked with Marc first when he was a member of our 24-7 team and later after his promotion to 3rd line. Early on it became apparent why Marc was so well regarded by his colleagues and peers. He has an outstanding knowledge of an unusually broad range of technologies - something that is undoubtedly underpinned by his interest and talent for cyber security and digital forensics. Marc has established himself within TSG as our "go to" expert in critical cyber security situations such as Incident Response, Forensics and complex security reviews. Over and above his technical abilities he has repeatedly demonstrated a passion for helping his team and colleagues - something that sets him out amongst his peers. Best wishes for the future Marc and thanks for all your assistance over the years!

I have worked with Marc over 2 positions he has held on the service desk. 24/7 and Third line. Over this time he has shown himself to be a highly valuable asset to my teams, going above and beyond for his team mates and the wider business. One key quality I look for is a persons ability to take something they are unfamiliar with and go and work out where the problem is and ultimately the solution. Marc has proven to be able to accomplish this on more than one occasion for me be that while dealing with zero day major incidents or debugging third party software. Having someone trusted tell me that incidents are in hand or resolved takes that worry off my plate. A pleasure to work with and a credit to the business.
