The CISO Experience - Adam Bricker
Another learning opportunity with our founder Simon L and another STAR guest!
Adam began his career as an aerospace engineer working on cruise missiles, space vehicles and hypersonic missiles. He also worked at Southwest Airlines as Director of Purchasing and Director of Information Systems, and later as VP of Application Development for Yum! brands.
In 2000 he joined KPMG and built a successful IT and business consulting practice serving some of the most admired global companies in capital equipment, industrial mfg., and aerospace.
Adam left to join World Vision in 2006 as International CIO to strategically integrate a global, federated IT function with over 900 staff in 85 countries. The team built shared service centers in Asia, centers of excellence on four continents and a discipline to find and scale innovations in health care, education, agriculture and IT services.
Adam has also led start-ups in EdTech, GRC, and oncology informatics. In January of 2020 Adam cofounded the Carolina Cyber Center at Montreat College and the Carolina Cyber Network of 11 major colleges in North Carolina. Their vision is to build a national demonstration resource for developing regional cyber awareness, cybersecurity professionals of character, and hardening regional resources. They have been awarded over $16mm in DoD, State of North Carolina, NSA, and Department of Labor grants.
Adam is currently leading a passionate group of IT professionals supporting international missions. Having lived and worked in over 60 countries, Adam helped identify, develop and/or bring to market innovations in student/staff capacity development, digital marketing, IoT, food production automation, and guest experiences.
Adam also served as an adjunct professor at École des ponts ParisTech university for 9 years. While he’s passionate about learning new technologies and development methods, he’s also passionate about the “life skills” that bring competence, autonomy, and joy to one’s life and others. Adam loves mountaineering, competing in adventure races, working his ranch in Colorado, and spending time with his wife and four children.
When it’s hunting season, you can find him being humbled by an elk in the Rocky Mountains. Very excited and honored to have Adam as a guest!
