Chris Brown | Founder, New Cyber Executive


Chris Brown is an executive coach and former CISO who helps cybersecurity leaders expand their influence, authority, and executive presence. With deep experience in both technical and executive roles, Chris understands the realities of the CISO seat — and what it takes to succeed in the boardroom, across the C-suite, and in the market.

NCE Executive Coaching Framework

Built from research and experience, the NCE framework helps CISOs move beyond technical mastery to operate as business executives. We focus on:

  • Challenges: Reframing the obstacles that keep you stuck.

  • Habits: Shifting daily patterns that drive long-term effectiveness.

  • Relationships: Strengthening the trust and collaboration needed for influence.

  • Identity: Connecting with your core motivations to stay grounded in tough moments.

  • Strengths: Leveraging what you do best to expand your impact.

This structured approach develops CISOs who not only safeguard the enterprise but also shape its future.

What To Expect...

Experience, Not Lectures

Our coaching isn’t training or instruction. It’s a collaborative process designed around your reality, not generic solutions. You bring the context and expertise of your role; we bring the coaching process, executive tools, and perspective to help you see options, make decisions, and discover insights that last far beyond any single challenge.

Connection to Coaching

Why I Started New Cyber Executive
I founded New Cyber Executive after seeing how coaching transformed my own leadership. Too often, CISOs are expected to figure it out alone. My mission is to give cybersecurity leaders the same space I once needed — a place to reflect, reframe, and grow. Coaching helps you make sharper moves, discover new possibilities, and uncover insights that become turning points in your career.
