In this episode, the host welcomes Nett Lynch, Chief Information Security Officer at Kraft Kennedy, for a conversation about human-centered cybersecurity. Nett traces her path from ten years in technical IT roles through founding an MSP, where an early misstep with a nursery and landscaping client taught her the lesson that has shaped her career since: technical recommendations only land when they are translated into business outcomes. That realization, paired with an MBA, pushed her toward blending emotional intelligence with business acumen, the combination she now credits as the real differentiator for any technology advisor.
