About

I’m Hal Cockcroft, a senior project and delivery manager with strong C-suite stakeholder management, governance, and commercial focus. I lead complex technology initiatives across ZTNA, SASE/SDWAN, cloud security, infrastructure refreshes, and ISO/NIST-aligned certification programmes—bringing clarity through robust documentation, accurate reporting, and performance-driven team leadership.

I enjoy translating technical requirements into practical plans, running discovery workshops, and partnering with delivery and vendor teams to land outcomes globally and on time. From Prisma Cloud migrations and managed security services design to network refresh, M365 transformations, and penetration test/vulnerability remediation, I aim to build inclusive, motivated teams while ensuring risk controls, business continuity, and successful BAU transition.
