The Defender's Journal Episode 31 - Matthew Presson

January 08, 2026 • Techfellow Ltd • Season 3 • Episode 31

Welcome to Episode 31 of The Defender’s Journal.

This week, we’re joined by Matt Presson - a product-driven, context-obsessed security leader currently serving as CISO (Americas) at Bullish. From code reviews at FedEx to building global security functions across EY, B1, and now a regulated digital asset firm, Matt has seen cybersecurity from every angle.

We explore the three defining questions behind his leadership style: Why is context so important and can it mislead you? How do you embed security without creating resentment? And... what changes when you stop trying to do it all yourself?
