Lead a "Shared Responsibility" Culture: Evangelize a culture of cyber awareness across ADI's 5,000+ employees and global partner network, moving security from a technical hurdle to a proactive business enabler that builds customer trust.

Standardize Global Governance: Drive the adoption of consistent global standards (such as NIST and ISO 27001) across ADI's global locations to ensure a baseline of "cyber hygiene" that supports ADI’s ongoing digital expansion.

HOW YOU WILL DO IT:

• Develop and implement a strategic, long-term security strategy that protects ADI's global information assets.

• Work with senior business leaders to assess and communicate acceptable levels of risk across diverse global markets and critical infrastructure projects.

• Identify and report on security risks to the Executive team and the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board, providing expertise on industrial and data standards.

• Deliver Board updates, presenting ADI's security posture directly and in alignment with Board expectations.

• Develop, mentor, and manage a high-performing global team of security professionals, fostering expertise in Cloud Security, Application Security, and Product Security.

• Identify, establish, and continuously enhance cybersecurity policies, standards, and tooling embedded within ADI’s enterprise AI strategy, ensuring responsible, secure adoption of AI across products, platforms, and operations.

• Ensure cyber resilience of critical distribution operations, including order fulfillment, warehouse execution, transportation systems, store fronts, and customer service platforms.

• Implement necessary controls to secure and protect branch operations, point-of-sale systems, customer-facing technologies, and distributed edge computing environments.

• Protect customer-facing ecommerce platforms from fraud, account takeover, bot attacks, payment fraud, and digital commerce disruption.

• Leverage AI‑driven security capabilities to strengthen threat detection and response, enabling proactive defense against emerging cyber risks and accelerating ADI's ability to anticipate, prevent, and mitigate sophisticated attacks.

• Ensure the security program complies with international data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR) and emerging cybersecurity regulations.

• Act as the primary champion for a "Security-by-Design" culture, ensuring that security is a competitive advantage for ADI's digital solutions.

• Partner with Enterprise Architects and Product Engineering teams to ensure ADI's platforms are developed according to secure coding and infrastructure guidelines.

• Manage global intrusion detection and vulnerability reporting, coordinating with Internal Audit and external partners to remediate risks across all technology environments.

• Develop KPI metrics that measure the effectiveness of the security program and demonstrate continuous maturity in alignment with the NIST framework.

• Monitor the global threat landscape for emerging risks, advising stakeholders on proactive defense measures.

• Own enterprise cyber resilience strategy including operational recovery, business continuity planning, cyber crisis management, and executive tabletop exercises.

• Oversee incident response planning and breach investigations, coordinating with Legal and Communications to manage impacts on customers and public trust.

• Lead the creation of a comprehensive Supply Chain Risk Management process to secure ADI's vendor ecosystem and digital partners.

• Lead cybersecurity due diligence and rapid post-acquisition integration for M&A activity.

• Support public company governance requirements, cybersecurity disclosures, SEC reporting obligations, and Audit Committee oversight processes.

WHAT YOU MUST HAVE:

• Minimum 10–15 years of IT and/or business leadership experience, with at least 7 years specifically in senior information security/cybersecurity roles within a multinational organization.

• A proven track record in developing global security strategies that encompass both Enterprise IT and Product security roadmaps.

• Extensive knowledge of business risk and the ability to conduct real-time risk assessments for enterprise and product services.

• Exceptional ability to translate complex cyber threats into business and sustainability impacts for Executive Management and the Audit and Compliance Committee.

• Experience presenting cybersecurity strategy, incident response, and risk posture directly to public company Boards and Audit Committees.

• Experience managing compliance with global privacy, cybersecurity, and digital operational resilience regulations.

WHAT WE WOULD VALUE:

• A natural coalition builder with the ability to inspire interdisciplinary teams to achieve unified global security goals.

• Experienced in negotiating complex SaaS, Cloud, and Managed Security Services (MSS) contracts with global vendors.
