Drawbridge Partners, a cybersecurity firm focussed on the financial services sector – and in particular hedge fund and private equity fund managers – has appointed Nathan Ford as a partner.
In this new role, Ford will be responsible for supporting the continued growth, team build out, and deepening client relationships across the West Coast & Midwest.
“Realising our vision of becoming the most trusted provider of cybersecurity solutions to the financial services vertical requires an investment in the highest calibre of talent available,” says Jason Elmer, Drawbridge Partners founder and managing partner. “We’re truly delighted to have been able to attract such a recognised figure in the industry like Nathan.”
Prior to Drawbridge Partners, Ford spent nine years at Eze Castle Integration, a managed services provider focused on the financial vertical, where he was a member of the management team, establishing the Midwest region before relocating to the West Coast to take on a similar challenge. During his tenure Ford established himself as a trusted expert in the financial vertical and a proven leader within Eze Castle Integration.
“I am delighted to be joining Jason and the rest of the Drawbridge Partners team. Cybersecurity, infrastructure integrity, compliance, increased regulatory reporting, and data privacy are all fundamental requirements for operating an investment firm, and I’m glad to be joining a firm that addresses these needs,” says Ford.
