Elevate Keynote and Breakfast
Date: Wednesday, April 26 | 8:30 - 10:00 AM PT
Location: Hyatt Regency San Francisco, Downtown SOMA (8-min walk from Moscone Center)
Mandiant and Elevate Executive Sponsor Erin Joe invite you to enjoy networking and breakfast while learning about the career journey of Heather Adkins, VP of Security Engineering, Google. Heather discovered an unprecedented intrusion into Google and mobilized the response in “Hacking Google,” a video series in which Heather shares the story of Google’s elite security teams in the days following the intrusion. Next, Heather will join us to reflect on her leadership during one of Google’s biggest challenges: fighting a nation state intrusion.
Elevate’s goal is to create a community of women leaders and to educate and inspire women in and aspiring to leadership and board positions across the cybersecurity industry. Heather is a leading expert in securing one of the world’s largest organizations and took lessons learned over time and events to create a more secure environment for Google and its world of customers. To do that, Heather cultivated innovation, built diverse teams, and empowered leaders. We welcome you to join us and be inspired by Heather’s story as well as by the amazing network of attendees.
