James Mountford

I joined AVEVA in May 2022 as the Security Awareness & Culture Person. Although I am new to AVEVA, I am not new to Security Awareness as I held a similar role at National Grid for three years. I am taking everything I learned from National Grid and the awesome Security Awareness community to inspire positive security behaviours at AVEVA through engaging and entertaining activities.

Inspiring positive security behviours through any means necessary. I joined AVEVA in May 2022 as the Security Awareness & Culture Person. Although I am new to AVEVA, I am not new to Security Awareness as I held a similar role at National Grid for three years. At National Grid our team implemented the Security Awareness programme including delivering bitesize bespoke e-learning modules built from scratch. I ran over 40 phishing simulation campaigns and personally hosted close to 150 virtual escape rooms. We held regular webinars with speakers ranging from the FBI to professional hackers.

I currently live in Leamington Spa, UK with my wife. I enjoy drinking coffee, eating burgers and being outside (when it’s not too cold or wet). I love to travel, whether that is within the UK or further afield. My favourite destination to go is America, specifically San Francisco, I’m pretty obsessed with anything American.
