About Drew Simonis
As a global cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in leading enterprise risk and security programs that drive business growth, digital transformation, and regulatory compliance across diverse industries with focused experience in high tech and financial services (insurance). I’m passionate about aligning cybersecurity strategy with business objectives to enable innovation while managing risk. Throughout my career, I’ve built and led high-performing teams, modernized global security architectures, and delivered measurable cost savings and risk reductions. My expertise spans Zero Trust, cloud security, incident response, and complex M&A integrations.Most recently serving as VP & Chief Information Security Officer at Juniper Networks (now part of HPE), I led cybersecurity across internal IT, cloud, product, and supply chain, guiding a talented team of 60+ and managing a substantial budget. I’ve successfully driven board engagement, reduced incident response time, and spearheaded large-scale Zero Trust transformations impacting hundreds of critical applications.If you’re interested in connecting about cybersecurity leadership, digital transformation, or executive collaboration, please connect!
