NCC Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Maddison as Chief Executive Officer following Adam Palser’s decision to step down after more than four and a half years in the role. Mike is currently head of EY’s cyber security, privacy, and trusted technology practice for EMEA, a role he has held since 2017. During that time Mike has successfully delivered strong growth across the 97 countries in the region and reinforced EY’s position as a leading Cyber Security adviser. Previously he led PwC’s Risk Services practice across the Middle East and before that was head of Deloitte’s cyber security consultancy in EMEA for ten years where he also drove significant growth. Mike will join the Board on 1 August 2022. Adam will remain as CEO until mid-June and will remain available to support an orderly handover. In the six-week interim period, Chris Stone, Non-Executive Chair will become Executive Chair.
