Locally based, cyber company SQR has promoted Mark Rodman to Chief Technology and Security Officer.

Since joining SQR in 2024 as Security and Infrastructure Operations Manager, Mark has played a pivotal role in enhancing security measures, strengthening infrastructure, and driving innovation within the company.

His exceptional contributions have now led him to take on the strategic role of SQR’s Chief Technology and Security Officer.

Promotion

With over 25 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity, Mark brings a wealth of expertise to the organisation.

Prior to joining SQR, he served as Head of Operational Security at Bumble, where he led initiatives to safeguard digital ecosystems and combat cyber threats.

Over the past 13 years, he has specialised in Information Security, focusing on building and designing blue teams to proactively defend organisations from emerging risks.

Armed with an MEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering and a passion for solving security challenges through data, Mark is committed to ensuring SQR’s technology is robust, scalable, and future-ready. 

He thrives in SQR’s collaborative and dynamic culture, though he jokingly admits he’s not too keen on being seen as “the critical security guy”.
