"Discreet Executive Appointments
for Senior Cyber and Digital Resilience Leaders"

Write your awesome label here.

ICTTF Executive Appointments is a senior-level executive appointments service connecting experienced cyber security, technology risk, and digital resilience leaders with organisations operating in regulated and high-risk environments worldwide.

Based in Ireland and operating through a trusted international network, we work with boards and senior leadership teams where judgement, credibility, and regulatory understanding are critical.


This is not recruitment at scale.

 It is executive appointments built on trust, capability, and long-term professional insight.

Why ICTTF Executive Appointments Exists

The demand for senior cyber and digital resilience leadership has changed.

Boards are no longer simply hiring for technical capability. They are appointing leaders who must:

  • operate confidently in regulated environments

  • engage credibly with regulators, auditors, and supervisors

  • advise boards on operational resilience, risk, and accountability

  • make high-consequence decisions under pressure


Traditional recruitment models — driven by CVs, keywords, and volume — struggle to assess these qualities.

ICTTF Executive Appointments exists to address that gap.

Built on More Than a Decade of Trust

Founded in 2011, ICTTF is one of the world’s most established cyber security and digital resilience communities.

Over more than a decade, ICTTF has:

  • built a global community of 50,000+ cyber and technology professionals

  • delivered 200+ senior-level industry events featuring regulators, practitioners, and executives

  • educated, trained, and certified 20,000+ professionals through the EU Cyber Academy

  • earned the trust of senior leaders operating in complex, regulated, and risk-sensitive environments worldwide


While ICTTF is headquartered in Ireland, its reach is international.

Through the EU Cyber Academy, ICTTF has developed deep expertise in DORA, NIS2, and operational resilience, expertise that is increasingly relevant well beyond the EU.

ICTTF Executive Appointments is built directly on this foundation.

A Different Model for
Executive Appointments

Most executive search firms start with a job description and a database of CVs.

ICTTF Executive Appointments starts somewhere else entirely.


Through the EU Cyber Academy and ICTTF’s global community, we actively educate, engage, and observe senior cyber and digital resilience professionals over time.

This gives us real visibility into:

  • professional judgement and decision-making

  • regulatory fluency and board-level communication

  • leadership maturity and operational experience

  • credibility within the wider professional community


Our appointments are not drawn from an unknown market.


They are drawn from:

  • leaders we have educated and certified

  • professionals we have observed over years, not weeks

  • executives trusted within our international community


This materially reduces appointment risk and leads to more durable, long-term outcomes.

Global Reach, Trusted Access

ICTTF’s international professional community provides reach that extends well beyond any single market.

ICTTF Executive Appointments supports:

  • organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions

  • roles requiring international regulatory awareness

  • executives seeking appointments aligned with their experience, values, and context


Engagement is driven by trusted professional networks — not cold outreach or speculative CV circulation.

For Organisations
and Boards

We work with boards, CEOs, and senior leadership teams within organisations that face material cyber, operational, or regulatory risk, including:

  • financial services and regulated entities

  • critical infrastructure and essential services

  • public sector bodies and large enterprises

  • organisations subject to DORA, NIS2, or operational resilience frameworks

Typical Appointments Include:

  • Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

  • Chief Information Officer (CIO)

  • Head of Cyber Security or Technology Risk

  • Digital and Operational Resilience leadership roles

  • Interim, advisory, and transition executive appointments

Engagements span Ireland, the UK, Europe, and international markets.


Each engagement is discreet, selective, and shaped around context — not templated processes.

For Executives
and Candidates

ICTTF Executive Appointments works with a highly selective network of senior professionals, including:

  • experienced CISOs and senior cyber leaders

  • technology, risk, and resilience executives

  • governance, regulatory, and operational specialists

  • professionals operating at senior management and board level


Participation is by invitation or referral only, reflecting professional standing, experience, and trust.

This is not a job board and not a CV submission process.

It is a confidential, relationship-led service designed to support executives considering their next meaningful appointment.

Our Principles

ICTTF Executive Appointments is guided by five core principles:

Discretion
Confidentiality underpins every engagement.

Selectivity
Appointments are curated, not commoditised.

Context
Sector, regulation, and risk environment always matter.

Credibility
Leadership judgement and trust outweigh CVs.

Long-term outcomes
We prioritise durable appointments, not transactions.


Our work is informed by deep, practical expertise in DORA, NIS2, and the UK Operational Resilience Framework, alongside broader international best practice.
