Career success is about continuous learning. Your initial education isn’t as important as your passion for what you do. We all know that our jobs are changing. It is a journey. The people who are inquisitive, self-learners are the ones who will succeed.

Lessons Learned
The average tenure of a CISO is too short. Unless you sit in a role for an extended period of time, you don’t know that the next transition is coming.
