About Henry Jones

Henry Jones is Chief Technology Officer/First Commercial Bank at Story Financial Partners. Location: Jackson, Mississippi, United States.

I am a Chief Technology Officer and enterprise technology, security, and risk executive with more than two decades of experience leading mission-critical functions in regulated banking and financial services. My work sits at the intersection of enterprise IT, cybersecurity, technology risk governance, infrastructure modernization, and operating model design—where regulatory confidence, operational resilience, and disciplined execution are non-negotiable. I advise CEOs, executive leadership teams, and boards on technology investment decisions, cyber and third-party risk, regulatory readiness, and the governance structures required to scale safely. I focus on clear accountability, measurable outcomes, and partnerships across business, risk, compliance, and audit—so technology enables growth without creating hidden operational or regulatory exposure. Core leadership areas include:    •   Enterprise technology strategy and multi-year investment governance    •   Cybersecurity, information security, and technology risk management aligned to regulatory expectations    •   Modernization programs spanning cloud adoption, identity, endpoint/security tooling, and infrastructure resilience    •   Board and risk committee communication on cyber risk, resilience, and technology performance    •   Building leadership depth, talent development, and succession within technology organizations I am most effective in institutions that treat technology leadership as part of enterprise risk management and strategic execution—not a back-office function. I welcome thoughtful connections with leaders in banking and other regulated industries focused on modernization, resilience, and risk-aligned technology governance.
