“We now live in a work culture of teams and teamwork being the only way to achieve success. If you can’t work efficiently and positively with others, you will not climb the corporate ladder.”
Deidre Diamond is the CEO and founder of CyberSN.com, a cybersecurity research and staffing company, and the founder of Brainbabe.org, a cybersecurity not-for-profit organization. Her vision and leadership have resulted in a dramatic decrease in the frustration, time, and cost associated with job searching and hiring for cybersecurity professionals. Prior to CyberSN, Deidre was the CEO of Percussion Software, the first VP of sales at Rapid7 (NASDAQ: RPD), and the VP of staffing and recruiting for the national technical staffing company Motion Recruitment. Deidre leads with a strong commitment to transparency, equality, training, support, high productivity, and love in the workforce.
