Tina Bright wasn't looking—but Inter-Con Security found her anyway. In this episode, Tina shares how a well-timed drink with the CPO turned a polite decline into a fast-tracked offer. She unpacks her playbook for entering a new org, from low-hanging fruit wins to tech stack audits, and explains why TA leaders should stay curious about the latest tools (even when they're not buying). Tina also reflects on evaluating career moves with intention—and why working for someone who gets TA can be a game-changer.
