What does receiving the (ISC)² CEO Award mean to you?


Achieving this (ISC)² CEO Global Achievement Award means more to me than I could eloquently explain in a reasonable number of words. I’m thrilled that the initiative I am undertaking - to empower people from all backgrounds and walks of life to pursue careers in cybersecurity - is gaining some traction. I love how supportive and progressive (ISC)² is, and how helpful the organization has been to me in working on this goal. Clar Rosso is an outstanding human, and I’m thankful that I’ve gotten to work closely with her on goals such as this.
