After successfully kick-starting McAfee’s Anti-virus business in the UK, Colin joined pre-IPO nCipher (acquired by Thales), the innovative cryptographic management business, in 1999. He was a key part of the senior management, in 2000 taking nCipher public (London Stock Exchange) in one of the most successful dotcom offerings.
