About Kelsey Cunningham
I currently serve as a leader in the Risk Advisory practice at Echelon Risk & Cyber. My favorite part about my job is helping clients to understand and mitigate risk to their specific organization, and building holistic security programs that do more than just \"check the box\". I have over a decade of experience, spanning technology and cybersecurity consulting, project management, people leadership, enterprise risk management, security GRC, change management, and procurement. While I received my Bachelor\'s in Chemical Engineering, I somehow found my way into the Cybersecurity space a number of years ago and never looked back. I have my Master\'s in Cybersecurity, as well as my CISSP, CRISC, and CMMC RP certifications.
