Martin Sutton is a professional with a career spanning corporate and entrepreneurial ventures. As a former risk manager at HSBC, he managed the Group’s domain name portfolio and risks against online fraud and security threats[1]. Martin spearheaded HSBC's successful application for its own TLD, .hsbc.

As one of the founding members of the Brand Registry Group, a non-profit global business association that represents its membership of dotBrand registry operators and future dotBrand applicants, Martin collaborated with industry peers to navigate policy complexities within ICANN, fostering best practices for these registries.
