With a background spanning defence, government, and the private sector, Iain brings over a decade of experience at the intersection of national security, operations, and cyber resilience. At Cyberoo he specialises in helping major institutions and governments protect against financial crime, scams, and cybercrime threats through intelligence-led strategy and coordinated disruption efforts.

Iain leads Cyberoo.AI's global strategy across scam prevention, threat takedown, financial fraud intelligence, and consumer protection. The company’s suite of capabilities spans from proactive scam detection and impersonation takedowns to cybercrime attribution and mule account intelligence.

Iain works closely with banks, regulators, law enforcement, and government agencies across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, and is a regular contributor to policy and operational discussions on disrupting the global fraud economy. His focus is on reducing not just the financial and reputational impact of scams, but also the emotional harm inflicted on individuals and vulnerable communities.
