About Cliff McCann

Throughout my career, I\'ve been proud to bring my vision and work ethic to drive needed change, engaging everyone in the “new” mission. My talent to impact associates at every level has benefitted my employers immeasurably by instilling loyalty and excitement up, down, and across organizations. I earned my B.S. in Economics at the University of Delaware in 1998. I spent several years in an IT Operations capacity before deciding to follow my passion of Information Security and Risk Management. My career quickly accelerated over the next 20+ years to the executive level and has expanded far beyond IT Operations to integral roles in various leadership capacities across several Fortune 500 organizations.Currently as the CISO, Chief Information Security Officer at CIBC, I am responsible for shaping the future of a secure business through robust security governance practices and strategic partnerships with Technology, Cyber Security and various control partners across all lines of defense. I am lucky to work for an organization that truly values its employees, fosters a strong culture and diversity, and believes in the growth of every individual.
