In this Episode I talk with Kimberely about her career and how she got into cyber security, even with only 3 months of college. We also discuss how she managed to become one of the top women in the field and how show jumping keeps her grounded. She also has advice on how we can get more women into technology.
Kimberley is our Director of Strategic Accounts for Tanium, based in Vancouver supporting the Western Canadian territory. She has worked in business development for the last 25 years, with over 20 years of IT experience and has specialized in cybersecurity for the last 5 years. She has worked for Canadian technology giants TELUS and Bell, and also for two of the world’s largest cybersecurity vendors, before joining Tanium at the beginning of 2020. Kimberley has become completely addicted to the cybersecurity field as global cyber risks continue to rise, as does the talent shortage. She volunteers with ISACA’s international charity, the OneInTech Foundation, as a member of the global SheLeadsTech Council, and is committed to engaging, empowering and elevating women in technology. She is a member of the Government of B.C.’s Provincial Security Advisory Council (PSAC) and is also very passionate about mentoring, connecting, and inspiring people. Outside of her professional life, she is an avid equestrian and an amateur competitive show jumper.
