Mastering the CISO Contract: a UK Flywheel Lunch & Learn
You've earned the CISO title. But did you negotiate the contract you deserve?
The CISO role comes with board-level accountability, regulatory exposure, and personal liability that most executives never face. Yet too many security leaders sign agreements written for generic C-suite hires, leaving risk, money, and protection on the table.
Join us for a practical session with cybersecurity legal expert Aravind Swaminathan (Orrick) and a panel of CISOs who'll break down what actually matters in your employment contract and what to push back on.
You'll learn how to:
Spot the clauses that can hurt you (and the ones worth fighting for)
Negotiate compensation that reflects the real weight of the role
Protect yourself from liability when things go wrong
Structure exit terms that don't limit your next move
Connect with UK cybersecurity founders
This isn't a sales pitch. We're bringing together security leaders and founders of UK cybersecurity startups for honest conversation. No demos, no decks. Just a chance to build relationships with the people shaping the next generation of security tools.
Who should attend: Current CISOs, security leaders targeting their first CISO role, and founders of UK cybersecurity startups.
