Security Operations Executive Mahjong & Dinner
Step away from the noise of the RSA expo floor. Join Fleak and Chainloop for a strictly private, invite-only executive dinner limited to 40 of the top minds in cybersecurity and engineering leadership.
While the rest of the conference focuses on the technology of defense, this highly curated evening is dedicated entirely to the people driving it. This is a rare, closed-door space to discuss the realities of executive leadership, the journey from technical expert to founder or board member, and the future of your own career trajectory.
No vendor pitches. No tech talk. Just candid conversations, Michelin-caliber dining, and insights from two leaders who have mastered the human side of the cybersecurity industry.
The Perspectives: Building Your Legacy
We are bringing together two unique voices to discuss the art of the career pivot, the realities of the founder's journey, and the apex talent market:
Dr. May Wang – CTO of IoT Security, Palo Alto Networks & Ex-Founder Beyond her technical accolades, Dr. Wang’s journey is a masterclass in executive evolution. From a first-generation college student to a Stanford Ph.D., to co-founding Zingbox and navigating its acquisition by Palo Alto Networks, she will share her unfiltered experiences on the founder’s grind, transitioning to the CTO suite of the world's largest cyber company, and navigating public and private boardrooms.
Stuart Mitchell – Founder & CEO, Hampton North As the trusted search partner for top AI labs, VCs, and global enterprises, Stuart possesses a rare vantage point on the cybersecurity talent market. He will share what happens behind closed doors when boards and VCs select their security leaders, how to position yourself for the next major career leap, and why human judgment remains the ultimate differentiator in executive hiring.
