I will share how I was able to build a security team and program from scratch at Twilio, an SF startup that just recently went IPO. I will be telling war stories that demonstrate what problems they will face and how I was eventually able to overcome them (hint: it wasn't easy, but I'll be giving up my secrets). At the end of the presentation, the security practitioners in attendance will have a guide they can use when trying to accomplish the same thing at their own company. Ultimately, we're all on the same side, and if I can give security practitioners an advantage with my experience, I sure will.

I started out in security because I wanted to influence how people's personal information was protected. Every customer deserves to have a Security organization who's advocating for the protection of their data. Data is everything: it's our credit, it's our medical history and it's our private moments. Customers shouldn't have to worry that every time they give sensitive data to a company, their information is misused or at risk of being stolen. When on the learning path about security, I've practiced security in different environments: t data providers, mortgage companies and Bay Area startups. I've worked for managers who taught me valuable lessons that I've passed along to security teams I've lead.
