Grieve is the latest addition to Wynyard's global team that in recent months has attracted talent from the world's leading government intelligence and law enforcement agencies excited by the company's solutions and growth prospects.

These appointments coupled with strategic alliances in different markets such as its partnership with leading global security company, Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC), further positions Wynyard as world class global provider of intelligence-led risk management solutions.

"Wynyard is leading the way in the next generation of risk management connecting advanced techniques to better assess risk, detect and prevent crime from occurring.

"I'm passionate about delivering Government agencies around the world solutions that help them fight the challenges they face. My new role with Wynyard will give me the chance to make a real difference to how they combat problems that continue to grow in size, scale and impact."
