When security meets resistance, I open doors.

For CISOs and Heads of Security who need their stakeholders engaged, their strategy aligned, and their projects unblocked.Precise alignment means faster delivery, more substantial support, reduced project risk, and fewer roadblocks.These improvements reduce the unnecessary delays caused by stakeholder friction so they don't impact your security budget.

About

I’m Stuart Wedge, a consultant specialising in security governance, policy, and stakeholder engagement. My path into this work is unusual — I spent five years as a bouncer, where I learned how to manage conflict, read people quickly, and build trust in high‑pressure situations. For the last four years, I’ve focused on security governance, policy, and stakeholder engagement, helping security leaders align their strategies with business goals and secure genuine stakeholder support. I know what it takes to handle resistance and move people forward, and I’ve built Stuart Wedge Consulting to help CISOs, Heads of Security, and Cyber Directors remove roadblocks and deliver their programmes with clarity and momentum.
