Exploring Operational Resilience with Shaun Cooney at Splunk

Shaun Cooney, Splunk

Shaun is a business technologist who’s spent much of his career in government, defence & telecommunications, where he has experience in cybersecurity, resilience, data and product development leadership roles. Until recently, Shaun was the CTO for Security Engineering in the UK Government, responsible for all of the engineering for internal and external capabilities used by the department.

Shaun is Splunk’s Field CTO and Strategy Advisor for EMEA. He spends most of his time helping organisations through their transformations and large change programmes, helping them to think more strategically or differently about their use of data and technology to validate and implement their business strategies. He is not a salesperson and has no interest in selling customers ‘more Splunk’. Instead, he’s able to think strategically and vendor agnosticically to help organisations achieve their business goals - leaving market research and product selection to others.
