About
Professor Buck Rogers — advisor to boards, regulators and executive teams.
Founder of Poro Advisory and Professor of Cyber Security & Digital Innovation. Buck helps organisations make better decisions about cyber risk, resilience and emerging technology — through clearer thinking, practical governance and trusted advice.
Buck's work sits at the intersection of cyber security, operational resilience, governance and AI, helping organisations anticipate emerging risks, navigate uncertainty and build confidence before disruption becomes crisis.
His career has included leadership roles at the Bank of England, HSBC and BAE Systems, alongside fourteen years in the Royal Navy. Those experiences shaped how he thinks about mission readiness, leadership under pressure and the importance of making good decisions when information is incomplete.
