About Neural Seven Advisory
Neural Seven Advisory is a Sydney-based boutique consultancy providing fractional CIO and CISO leadership plus practical AI governance. We partner with boards and executives to align technology with strategy, uplift cyber resilience and ensure responsible AI adoption.
Principal VCIO / VCISO / AI Governance
Neural Seven Advisory is a boutique governance, cybersecurity and technology advisory practice helping organisations make confident, defensible decisions in complex and regulated environments.
Led by an experienced former CIO and CISO, the practice brings senior executive expertise across enterprise technology strategy, cyber risk, information security governance, compliance and digital transformation. Its experience spans large Australian service organisations, regulated and government-aligned environments, not-for-profit and employment services sectors.
The principal holds a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and Master of Business and Technology (MBT), complemented by executive-level cybersecurity and governance credentials including EC-Council Certified CISO (CCISO) and Responsible AI Governance and Ethics (C|RAGE) certifications, ISACA Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) as well as specialist Oxford training in artificial intelligence. This multidisciplinary foundation supports practical advice across ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 42001 AI management systems, security risk management, privacy, assurance and board-level technology governance.
Neural Seven combines strategic perspective with hands-on delivery, translating regulatory obligations, emerging technology risk and security requirements into pragmatic operating models, roadmaps, policies and measurable improvements. The focus is simple: stronger governance, resilient technology and trusted use of AI.
Our approach is senior, hands-on and outcomes-driven: we embed with your team, quantify business value, and leave lasting capability. We are independent of vendors, and measure success by risk reduced, resilience gained and strategy executed.
