She will share her professional journey and lessons learned along the way from not only surviving but thriving in the technology arena and especially cybersecurity. Pinkney is focused on creating an environment that attracts, retains, nurtures and supports diversity, equity and inclusion. As a cybersecurity expert, she will share how "being relentless, fearless, connected, global and authentic" strategically enabled her to develop collaborative relationships with business and technical peers.
