Today we had the meeting zero (0) of our Never Search Alone Job Search Council 5160, while being the moderator/facilitator.

After doing the program, now I get to share my knowledge and experiences with my council members will be great.

The "job search cult" is not a surefire way to get a job, but definitely helped me to quantify what I am looking for and how to communicate that goal.

It is time to come off the Pro Leisure Circuit - I am looking for an InfoSec and/or Privacy leadership role at a series B or later technology focused B2B company with an inclusive culture where they want to make their Information Security and Privacy programs a competitive and strategic differentiator.

I am a passionate cybersecurity leader with 20+ years maturing enterprise cybersecurity, privacy, and risk programs across global, regulated, and high-growth environments. My experience combines hands-on technical depth with relationship-focused leadership, governance expertise, and the ability to build modern security programs aligned to business outcomes. Proven in SaaS, telemedicine, fintech, and cloud-native companies undergoing rapid scale, regulatory scrutiny, or organizational change.

Known for my people-first approach for transforming fragmented programs into cohesive, high-performance security organizations. Experienced in building and maturing GRC, incident response, security operations, data protection, and trust functions. Adept at partnering with boards, C-suite, legal, product, and engineering to reduce enterprise risk while enabling growth and innovation. The executive track leader with demonstrated ability to lead teams, manage budgets, drive organizational alignment, and guide security strategy.

I've been talking to quite a few people recently about their job search. I thought it might be helpful to write down what I did when I found myself on the market, coming from an industry that is in serious recession. Perhaps it might help you. I hope so.

Said goodbye to my #JobSearchCouncil today, after many months of meeting regularly. Three of the group are still looking for work (or are in a period of taking a break/not even trying any more). Brutal.
