What led you to get involved in multiple CISO communities?

My main reason is the chance to learn from peers and industry leaders and share my experience and knowledge.

I like sharing whatever I can to add value. But to me, it's a bidirectional activity. No matter how many years you've been in this industry, there's always something to learn. There's always a different perspective to absorb and I find that bidirectional exchange to be critical, even in terms of my day-to-day operations. 

One of the coolest things that drives me to get involved in different organizations is the sector specializations that appeal to specific populations. For instance, in New York, you find a more financial sector type of perspective. Down here in North Carolina, there's more of a healthcare perspective. On the west coast of the US, you're probably going to find more of an entrepreneurial perspective. Each one of those presents an awesome dynamic to bring together and learn from.
