My teams trained and equipped CISOs to realize situational awareness, organizational risk resilience, business led security practices, and personal effectiveness. • Transformed Client Experiences – Led the evolution of Gartner Security and Risk Management Summits to turn them into integrative, collaborative, and immersive experiences for all participants.
