Every successful team needs a Joanne! Joanne is one of those people that keeps everything on track, leading from the front, advising when she needs to, sharing useful tips and resources, listening and helping to develop individuals within the team. I was lucky enough to work with Joanne at Cyber Chain Alliance (CCA) and she was a pleasure to work with! Joanne impressed me with her ability to simplify the complex, utilising tools such as SharePoint to automate processes and PowerBi to visualise progress. Joanne is also a kind person, who always showed a very caring and trustworthy side. I know that wherever Joanne goes, she will be highly regarded and appreciated.

I worked with Joanne at Unit4 when I was the Director responsible for Standards Compliance. Joanne reported directly to me. Joanne is extremely hard working, conscientious and thorough. Her knowledge of ISO standards such as 27001, 23301, 9001, and her skills in the practical implementation and embodiment of these standards into an organisation is the best I have seen. Joanne is an excellent communicator, able to engage with audiences at all levels; through her enthusiasm and passion for quality and security Joanne makes what can be viewed as a dry subject come across as a worthwhile value add. Whilst remaining professional at all times, Joanne is prepared to stand her ground and put forward findings and recommendations to senior management teams even when this may be unpalatable to some. Joanne’s overriding objective in all her work is to make a positive difference to the organisations with whom she works. She would be my go to person of choice if I was looking for cyber security consultancy.
