Security services group NCC Group plc has announced the appointment of Inge Bryan (pictured) as managing director for its continental European operations, which includes Fox-IT and the former FortConsult brand. The appointment is effective from 1 January 2021 and Bryan will also join the group executive committee.
Bryan is currently part of the cyber-security leadership team with Deloitte Risk Advisory, securing the critical infrastructure of The Netherlands, including central government. With a strong career in cyber and security, she has previously held roles with the National Police and the General Intelligence and Security Service of the Netherlands, and has served as home affairs counsellor in the Netherlands embassy in Paris.
Adam Palser, NCC Group chief executive officer of the Manchester, England-headquartered firm, said: “Inge brings a wealth of cyber and security experience to NCC Group and has a deep understanding of the critical role cyber-security plays in protecting society. We have ambitious growth plans for our continental European business and I look forward to working with her as we continue to grow our business.”
Robert Horton will continue to manage the continental European business on an interim basis until Bryan joins in January. Tomas Sorensen-Boye, managing director of the former FortConsult business based in Copenhagen, has decided to step down and “pursue other opportunities” but will remain an advisor to the European business.
Palser said: “I’d like to thank Tomas for his exceptional leadership and commitment in growing our brand in the Nordics as well as the rest of Europe. I’m pleased that he will continue to provide his expert advice to the European business and am sure he’ll be a great support to Inge as she settles into her new role.”
NCC Group acquired the FortConsult business in 2014 and finally changed its name to NCC Group earlier this year.
