Gabriela Smith-Sherman, a former Federal agency CISO with over 15 years of experience in leading and implementing comprehensive enterprise cybersecurity programs and initiatives, sits down to share her journey. She is a U.S. combat disabled veteran who understands the importance of mission and is dedicated to delivering high-quality results and value to customers through innovative solutions. Gabriela shares about her time in the military and how her being apart of the service was one of the best decisions she made and dedicates all her hard work to her time in the military. She also shares how it was tough getting out of the routine of the military and being a civilian now was a hard transition, but she says that she thrives in the chaos of the IT world and that the military helped her to prepare for the cyber industry. She said "I think my military experience has prepared me, uh, to be in those kind of chaotic positions and be very calm about the approach." We thank Gabriela for sharing her story with us.
