NCC Group is proud to announce the continuation of its long-standing partnership with Empowering You, reaffirming its commitment to building a more inclusive and representative cyber security industry.
As part of this renewed collaboration, NCC Group will sponsor the Autumn 2025 graduation events for the London and Southern England, Midlands, and Northern England regional programmes. These events celebrate the achievements of women who have completed the intensive leadership development programme, designed to equip future cyber security leaders with the skills, confidence, and networks to thrive.
In addition to sponsoring the graduation ceremonies, NCC Group is delighted to be supporting three of its own colleagues - one in each region - through the Autumn 2025 cohort.
Michelle Van de Velde, Chief People Officer at NCC Group, commented:
“We’re incredibly proud to continue our partnership with Empowering You, enabling women to lead in cyber security, an initiative that plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of our industry. By fostering opportunities for women to lead, influence, and drive innovation, we’re not only advancing the field of cyber security but also reinforcing our commitment to cultivating a diverse and inclusive leadership culture.
I’d like to wish the latest cohort all the very best as they begin their journey - we’re excited to see the difference they’ll make in their organisations and across the wider cyber security community.”
Chris Woodcock, Co-founder and Director at Empowering You, commented:
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with NCC Group, whose ongoing support has been instrumental in helping us grow and sustain our mission to empower women in cyber security. Their sponsorship of the Autumn 2025 graduation events and investment in their own colleagues demonstrates a deep and genuine commitment to developing diverse leadership across the industry. Together, we’re building a future where women are not only present in cyber security but leading it.”
This partnership builds on NCC Group’s broader commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and follows our previous collaboration with Empowering You to create robust communities of female cyber security leaders.
