In Part 2 of our conversation with Lori Anello, she opens up about the emotional and professional transition from a specialized threat role into the CISO seat. Lori talks candidly about being “on the back nine” of her career—no longer chasing titles, but focused on impact and alignment. She shares how trust, mentorship, and empathy have defined her leadership approach, from supporting others to finding her own voice at the executive table. Plus, we discuss the importance of “mourning” the roles we leave behind and how CISOs must evolve into business enablers—not gatekeepers.
