Lewis Finch

Part of the Rising Stars 30 — a list of the UK's most talented young tech professionals in 2025

Lewis has emerged as a standout talent in IT risk management, particularly in cybersecurity, demonstrating a maturity and skill set that belies his junior position and short time in the industry.

During a serious security incident at Paragon, Lewis stepped up to develop processes to detect missing security tools across devices, expanding the focus from on-prem servers to cloud and EUC environments. Faced with fragmented resources, he wrote custom code to map critical data storage, collaborating with vendors to build a risk mitigation framework that became a cornerstone for the team.

A partner said: "Without his help, the project would have taken much longer… Lewis was proactive, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with."

Outside of work, Lewis is a talented artist, sketching comic-style characters in pencil, blending creativity with his analytical mindset.
