Alternative Security Leadership Roles

Post Thumbnail

Interim security leaders head up huge teams, babysit massive budgets and are (for a time) responsible for some of the most well known brands in the world. In this episode we talk to Alex Clixby and Ian Golding experienced interim and fractional CIOs to find out more about the role. What challenges are unique to an interim? What sort of skills are needed to hold such a crucial role for a short period of time. Is Interim a way to avoid burnout or is it more prone to the issues?
