Her success has been attributed to her ability to manage large-scale complex programs that cross functional areas while advancing the skill sets and careers of her team members.

She is also certified as a HealthCare Information Security & Privacy Practitioner through the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, Inc. and a Certified Information Security Manager through the Information Systems Audit and Control Association. She continues to provide leadership for several industry groups and serves as a Board member for the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center, the National Technology Security Coalition and the Cybersecurity Collaborative, to name a few. Meredith is passionate about empowering women and minorities to embark upon careers in technology especially in information security where those populations are not very well represented. She’s committed to transforming the industry by driving engaging and provocative discussions around diversity, equity and inclusion and the value it brings. It is her hope that the industry transforms at a more rapid pace so that women and minorities are normalized in tech and security spaces.
