Building Trust and Balance in Cybersecurity Leadership | Root To CISO Podcast
In this episode of The Root to CISO Podcast, host Kris Rides sits down with Andrew Wilder, cybersecurity leader and former CISO at Nestlé, to discuss how he made the leap from enterprise security to his first CISO role. Andrew shares how moving from a global company to a mid-sized organization gave him hands-on experience reporting directly to the board, building a security program from scratch, and learning what it truly means to lead.
He also opens up about the importance of work-life balance, the value of trust in cybersecurity, and why good recruiters and strong relationships can shape a career as much as technical expertise.
