"The Future of Cybersecurity: Women in IT"

Women in IT are shaping the future of cybersecurity; are you ready to be part of the conversation?

This Saturday on The Influencers’ Connection Corner, I’m beyond excited to welcome Jessica Reece, Head of MSSP, Americas, at Check Point Software Technologies!

Jessica is a powerhouse in cybersecurity, proving that passion and connection, not just technical backgrounds, drive success. Since 2010, she’s been at the forefront of cyber innovation, fostering talent, championing women in IT, and building a future where knowledge-sharing and empowerment are the norm.

She’s the kind of leader who lifts as she climbs, and I can't wait to continue this conversation in person at CPX Americas 2025 in Las Vegas next week! Women in IT are making waves so let’s rally behind them and learn from one of the best in the game. Join us!

As a Social Media Director at Brilliant Beam Media, my days are fueled by crafting strategies that not only captivate but also drive results for both B2B and B2C ventures. Fluent in Spanish-speaking and Spanish to English translation, I've had the privilege of bridging cultural gaps and amplifying brand voices across diverse audiences.

Beyond the boardroom, I wear the badges of a Walking Tall Movement Ambassador and a proud member of The Outlier Project with immense pride. These roles aren't just titles; they're opportunities to pay it forward. My heart beats for empowering fellow Latino entrepreneurs, especially the resilient women who navigate through cultural and personal barriers with grace and grit.

Through the intimate avenues of my podcast, coaching sessions, and the pages of my soon-to-be-released book, "Culture Clash," I don't just share stories—I share journeys. My own journey from the tumultuous streets of El Salvador to the corridors of opportunity in the United States serves as a beacon of hope. But more importantly, it's a roadmap for those who dare to dream, guiding them from the realm of possibility to the realm of action.

My mission is simple yet profound: to give voice to the voiceless, to provide platforms for the overlooked, and to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive. And as we continue on this transformative journey together, let's not forget the power of community. On LinkedIn, I've cultivated not just connections but a family—a tribe of diverse souls united by shared dreams and mutual support.

Join me, not just as a spectator, but as a fellow architect of change. Together, let's shatter barriers, rewrite narratives, and pave the way for a future where every dream is not just realized but celebrated.
