At ReynCon Security, we know our industry is as strong as the people behind it. Fortunately, we have some incredible leaders paving the way to a more secure future. We wanted to highlight some of these game-changers and take the opportunity to have them share their wisdom with us on leadership, challenges, and growth. Our first interview is with Theresa Payton. Theresa is an inventor and visionary in the digital world. She has served as the first female White House CIO, is a U.S. patent holder, and is a two-time company founder and CEO. We asked Theresa: ❔What is the #1 lesson you have learned from your journey that has shaped your leadership style and approach to business? 🅰️The #1 lesson I've learned throughout my journey is the importance of focusing on human-centered designs and, for me personally, adaptability. In the dynamic landscape of the cybersecurity industry and business in general, pivoting, innovating, and embracing change is crucial. Whether it's navigating technological advancements, shifting client needs, or unexpected challenges like cybersecurity threats, the ability to adapt quickly and effectively has been instrumental in shaping my leadership style and approach to business. It's about having a clear vision but also being flexible enough to adjust course when necessary and empowering my team to do the same. This lesson has not only helped me steer Fortalice Solutions through various transformations but has also become a guiding principle in my leadership philosophy.

The role of CIOs and IT executives is evolving like never before. It's no longer just about enabling the business—we are becoming the business. Our focus is shifting towards co-creating value and leveraging technology as a powerful business differentiator. While operational excellence, business support, and innovation remain foundational, we're now driving top-line revenue growth, enhancing customer experiences, and ensuring cyber resilience to protect against value leakages. IT is no longer a support function; it's a strategic driver of growth and transformation. As we move forward, let’s embrace our roles as business leaders—where technology not only powers the business but defines its future. #CIO #Leadership #DigitalTransformation #CyberResilience #BusinessInnovation #ValueCreation #ITLeadership

How do you get big business expertise on a small business budget? For SMBs, hiring full-time IT or cybersecurity leaders isn’t always realistic. That’s where fractional leadership can help. Professionals that provide expert guidance without the long-term commitment, helping you implement the strategies and solutions you need to scale. One client I worked with brought in a fractional CIO who helped streamline their IT processes in just six months, saving the business tens of thousands in operational costs. Have you explored fractional leadership as a way to fill expertise gaps in your business? #FractionalLeadership #SMBStrategy #Technology #BusinessGrowth #Innovation

🌟 Reflecting on a Stellar Roundtable Discussion 🌟 Yesterday, I had the privilege of participating in a private virtual roundtable hosted by Technology Leaders Club, a community made up of over 2000 C-suite to director-level IT, cyber security, and data experts across the UK, Europe, and USA. The session brought together 6 senior executives to delve into the critical topic of aligning marketing and sales to drive revenue - a challenge many of us in leadership roles face. We explored several key areas: ▫ The major hurdles in achieving message alignment between marketing and sales teams. ▫ Effective strategies that have helped overcome these challenges. ▫ The pivotal role of leadership buy-in in aligning sales and marketing efforts and ways to foster it. The insights shared were not only enlightening but also practical, offering actionable steps we can take to enhance our organizational synergy. I am thankful for the opportunity to engage with fellow leaders and exchange ideas that are bound to make a significant impact on our respective companies. A special thanks to Deanna Nicholas for the excellent organization and to Amy Flécher, Trish McGill, Antoine Richert, Nathalie Magniez and Ulf Tausche for such a meaningful dialogue. For those interested in such enriching discussions, I highly recommend keeping an eye on future events by Rela8 Group. #Leadership #Marketing #SalesAlignment #BusinessGrowth

I've said before that I believe there is a CISO role for everyone, but not every CISO role is for everyone. The CISO position is no longer a one-size-fits-all role. Organizations differ in their maturity, culture, and risk appetite, and CISOs must align their leadership style and expertise with these unique needs. It's critical for aspiring CISOs to understand that success in this field isn't just about technical knowledge. It's about strategic thinking, communication with the board, managing risk, and cultivating a security-first mindset across the organization. Finding the right fit is essential—not just for the organization, but for your personal growth as a cybersecurity leader.   Check it out below. Let me know what you think. 👇🏽 Day 17/31 - #CISO #Mindset #ConsciouslySecureMeditation #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #ConsciouslySecureLeadershipSeries

Over the course of my 30-year career, I've learned that chaos can be managed, crisis can be controlled, and change is inevitable. Yet, many of today's business leaders aren't prepared for a major crisis. Did you know only 41% of CEOs feel ready for a cybersecurity crisis? And it can even happen to the best of the best.  It's time to change that. To ensure today's leaders are prepared for situations like this, I've centered one of my core master classes on being "ready to roll" and effectively leading through a crisis. It's not just your average keynote speech - instead, I'll parachute you into the middle of a crisis while working with you to find the way out. The goal is to leave you with the knowledge, skills, and tools that can be applied to any crisis business situation. Make 2024 the year that your team is prepared to deal with any crisis.
