MorganFranklin welcomes cybersecurity leader Michael Orozco
MorganFranklin Consulting, a Washington, DC-based management consulting firm, has hired Michael Orozco as a managing director and advisory services leader for the cybersecurity practice.
Orozco brings more than two decades of experience in cyber defense, cyber risk mitigation, financial crime, incident response, and regulatory compliance. He has deep expertise working with management and boards to solve challenges in digital transformation and operations modernization.
Orozco has led projects for clients in financial services and life sciences, among others, across the US, Latin America, and Europe.
He was previously a partner leading cybersecurity, risk, and resilience engagements for KPMG. He also previously held global leadership positions at Accenture and other consulting firms, where he built and led global teams focused on security programs.
Orozco has CISA, CDPSE, CGEIT, CRISC, PMP, and AWS certified solution architect professional credentials.
“We are thrilled to have Michael join the MorganFranklin team and harness his expertise to help our clients build and deploy mission critical cybersecurity initiatives,” said Keith Hollender, a partner in MorganFranklin’s cybersecurity practice. “As cyber criminals and nation-states launch ever more sophisticated attacks and technology rapidly evolves, cybersecurity must be a top priority for all organizations. Michael will help our clients address the growing challenges that are spurred on by these changes.”
MorganFranklin’s cybersecurity practice delivers services in program strategy governance, risk, and compliance; identity and access management; cybersecurity operations; incident response; business and technology resilience; risk intelligence; and managed security.
The wider firm provides consulting in accounting and risk advisory, technology enablement, transaction services, strategic transformation and program execution, and supply chain and retail management. MorganFranklin has more than 600 people across eight US offices.
“I’m excited to use my unique expertise to help MorganFranklin continue to accelerate its growth as a premier consultancy,” said Orozco. “This company is dedicated to helping solve the most pressing cybersecurity challenges for clients and to prepare them for emerging threats on the horizon. That is a mission I am proud to be a part of.”
The firm last month promoted Anil Persad and Jared Benedict to managing director.
