SIG Leadership

The SIG Leadership Team is made up of three Regional Chairs, each representing a major global region: Americas, EMEA, and APAC.

Together, they guide the Cyber SIG's strategic direction and ensure that the voices and needs of members worldwide are reflected in everything we do.

They provide leadership across time zones, support collaboration between regional chapters, and work closely with the SIG’s directorates to plan events, shape content, and support volunteers. Each Chair brings insight into the challenges and opportunities facing business analysts in their region — from privacy and resilience to secure service design and regulatory change.
