For a long time CISOs have reported to the CIO because historically the CIO position was the only technical position with a seat at the table. What’s next after CISO? Some would suggest a different CISO job but we are speaking with someone that took the CISO role excelled at it and earned herself a new seat at the table as a Fortune 500 CIO. How did she do it ? What does she attribute her success to? What practical lessons can we all take from someone that took a fortune 500 CISO position and parlayed that into a fortune 500 CIO position? We’re going to talk about this in more in this episode of Seat at the Table.
