Following 8 years in the Royal Signals, reaching the rank of captain, Nick spent three years with Logica Space and Defence on projects such as the Logica Computer Security Evaluation Facility.

He founded Strategic Thought Group (STG) in 1987 providing services to organisations deploying enterprise software solutions, particularly using the Ingres RDBMS, TUXEDO and subsequently IBM integration technology, across a wide range of sectors including: government, defence, retail, transport and telecoms.

The company developed a specialization in risk management and delivering risk management solutions. Based on their experience STG developed Active Risk Manager (ARM) that was purchased by an impressive number of blue chip corporations such as Nestle, Tfl, AMEC, RTZ, MOD, BAe Systems and Lockheed Martin who used ARM to manage risk on large projects and programs, for example the F35 / Joint Strike Fighter development. After leading STG to a floatation on the London AIM Market and growing the company into a global organization, Nick stepped down from the board in 2007.

Nick then founded Policy Monitor to provided integration and data analytics products and services, predominantly to the public sector, including the Home Office and the Ministry of Defence.  Projects include delivery of an unstructured text mining and analytics solution and the development of battlefield integration software.

As cyber security became increasingly important, Policy Monitor developed a solution to address the cyber security issues faced by both large and small organizations. CSPM was thus created to develop and deliver a cloud based solution that enables organisations to define and implement their security policy, audit compliance and respond effectively in the event of a Cyber security attack.

Dave has over 35 years’ sales, operational and executive thought leadership experience with delivering Data (AI) powered solutions across global financial services, media, retail, telco and government clients.  He worked with innovative companies, including: Digital, Computer Associates, BEA Systems, SunGard, Boston Consulting Group, IBM and Actian.  Dave enjoys a diversified network of business colleagues, social friends and great contacts.

Outside work, Dave’s passions revolve around anything and everything to do with a ball and an engine.  He is a rugby coach, has raced motorcycles and travelled the world following motorsport (he says when his long-suffering wife and two sporty teenage sons allow him – or wish to join him)!

During the course of her Degree in Chemistry at the University of Oxford, Jessica found that practical chemistry wasn’t for her. Her final year project introduced her to programming in Fortran 90 and bash scripting, and she hasn’t looked back.

After graduating in 2013, Jessica started working at Policy Monitor and built a solid foundation in Java programming. Working on projects in battlefield interoperability, and skilling up in various technologies, including IBM and RedHat offerings, Jessica has gained experience in a wide range of areas, including databases, web technologies, integration tools, and cloud platforms.

As the company grew, Jessica rose to the challenge of project management and now splits her time between managing and developing with the teams working with battlefield interoperability technology and our own cloud product.

Wendy recently joined Policy Monitor in 2020 after deciding to make a career switch and completing studies with a technical development bootcamp. Since becoming a member of the Policy Monitor team, she has enjoyed gaining experience in Java and Android development on battlefield interoperability projects, as well as working with Angular on the company’s cloud based cyber security solution.

Wendy comes from a broad humanitarian background with a Masters in Art Psychotherapy and career experience in fields such as education, art, government and charity-sector communications, PR and mental health. She brings a diverse skill-set to her work and has over seven years of experience engaging directly with clients and stakeholders.
Hong joined the CSPM team in mid-2021. He first started programming towards the tail end of his undergraduate degree at the University of Oxford, and spent several months retraining during his free time in order to change careers and transition into the tech industry.

Since joining the team, he has been primarily working with Java, Apache Camel, and SQL to support the ongoing development of CSPM, providing solutions for its integration framework.
Ismet joined Diegesis in October 2021 following graduating from UCL with a degree in Mathematics.

He first started programming during his A level computer science, where he learned Python and continued developing his skills by undertaking additional projects during university.
