(Un)Common Ground Storytelling Series: The CISO Journeys 10/30
October 30, 2025 @ 12:00 pm
(Un)Common Ground Storytelling Series: The CISO Journeys — Leadership, Grit, and Growth. What happens when two senior-level CISO executives step away from the technical talk and share the real stories behind their success?
The (Un)Common Ground Storytelling Series, a collaborative initiative between SIM, ITSMF, and HITEC, invites you into a powerful conversation where leadership meets humanity. In this session, we’ll explore the parallels and contrasts that define these executives’ paths — their pivotal career moments, challenges overcome, lessons in self-advocacy, and how intersectionality has shaped who they are as leaders.
This isn’t a performance. It’s personal. Since its launch in 2020, the (Un)Common Ground Series has become a signature experience where senior leaders connect on a deeper level and rising professionals gain an authentic glimpse into what it truly takes to reach the C-suite.
Join us for an honest, inspiring, and refreshingly human dialogue that will leave you reflecting on your own leadership journey — and the uncommon ground we all share.
