H. Beth Anne Bygum, MSLM, CBCP, CCRP, MBCP — CEO
Experienced Executive and Connector Known for Igniting Direction and Achieving Results Risk and particularly the growing threat of cyber risk is evolving and a growing concern for business interruption and disruption as the digital landscape accelerates. In continuously improving the organization’s resiliency, my varied experience across industries and functions provides a valuable perspective to senior executives in designing, building and scaling resilient frameworks. Problem Solver Managing these potential risks directing disparate teams across information security, risk management, information governance, IT compliance and IT training taps into my finely attuned ability to identify issues well before they arise in ensuring the company’s livelihood. A natural problem solver, I take a comprehensive view in gauging the enterprise’s risk, qualitatively and quantitatively, in delivering sustainable results which meet the needs of complex, multi-functional organizations. Business Transformer Resolving large operational challenges that require large scale transformations, is what I excel at in connecting teams, people and leaders across the organization to identify new solutions and opportunities in mitigating potential risks. Risk management runs counter to most company cultures as it focus on threats and weaknesses instead of opportunities and successes, my view is that immediate short-term spends are necessary in creating long term, sustainable revenue generation and brand trust — two assets that are vital to every organization’s success. Returnship Advocate Having benefited from a “returnship” program earlier in my career, I am a fierce advocate of the concept as it is a win/win for the organization who can tap into a highly motivated and experienced talent pool while the employee benefits by becoming a productive member of the workforce picking up where they left off in growing their skill set and career. Industries: Data Science, Technology, Consumer Products Goods, Bio-Tech, Pharmaceutical and Consulting
