Best Story
I've built an entire career portfolio by navigating multiple career changes while building transferable skills. I often refer to myself as an "inside outsider" as I have developed strategies for leveraging being an "outsider" to the benefit of employers and myself! My love for learning and willingness to constantly challenge my own status quo has been the key to my success. I'm passionately committed to helping others leverage what makes them "uniquely you" to build a successful career.
Origin Story
Heather's don't quit and don't slow down attitude has helped her to succeed no matter the size of the challenge, type of organization or the industry in which she has worked -- proving both her enthusiasm to learn and her flexibility. She enjoys solving problems and view challenges as opportunities to learn or try something new. Part of what she loves most about working in technology and cybersecurity is the culture of learning, problem solving and adaptability many technologists naturally bring to their work.

PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION MODERATION: Governing with Robots: What does an AI-enabled GRC future look like?
We’ve all seen the headlines with Artificial Intelligence (AI) making a big splash in the news! Even lawyers have already been (in)famous for their (mis)use of AI. Surely, there is a future in governing with robots, but with all this bad press, what does an AI-enabled GRC future look like? The goal of this session is to create a new design for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) which is responsibly and safely enabled by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This presentation is targeted for tech industry professionals and uses discussion groups to generate ideas for developing an AI-enabled GRC program that enables and enhances cyber security practices. During the session, we’ll discuss ideas about how to address the pain points and pitfalls of AI, as well as how to engage reluctant leaders and get their support for an AI-enabled GRC program.

PRESENTATION: The Inside Outsider
I've made a career of being an outsider inside my own organization. Being "weird" is what's made my career wonderful, but it often puts me in the position of being "the only one in the room who..." Who am I? I'm an elementary school teacher who loves math! I'm a writer for one of the world's most renowned financial institutions! I'm a communications expert on a technology team! For those who are struggling with imposter syndrome, a lack of diversity on their team, or simply being the "weirdo" in the room, this presentation aims to help you embrace (and even leverage!) what makes you uniquely YOU. My career might be one of a kind (like me), but I actually prefer the challenge.
