Daniela Parker
Daniela Parker has sat on the other side of the table — as a Chief Risk Officer and Chief Operating Officer — making the tough calls on budgets, priorities, and competing initiatives. She knows exactly what happens in the executive huddle after the security team leaves the room.
As the founder of Parker Solutions, Daniela helps organizations turn risk and security from technical conversations into strategic business decisions. She has led enterprise risk programs, technology transformations, regulatory initiatives, and operational strategy — and she’s had to decide where resources go and why.
Her superpower? Teaching security professionals how to speak the language executives actually use.
Her style is direct, practical, and real. No theory for theory’s sake. Just executive-level insight into how decisions actually get made — and how to influence them.
Because when you understand how executives think, security doesn’t just get acknowledged.
It gets prioritized.
Session
You've identified the vulnerability, tested the exploit, and written the report. But they just don’t see the urgency. Now what? This 4-hour, hands-on workshop bridges the gap between technical mastery and boardroom influence. We'll move beyond simply reporting risks to crafting compelling narratives, quantifying value, and building the relationships necessary to drive meaningful security improvements.
This isn't your typical "compliance" training. We'll delve into the psychology of decision-making, explore adversarial communication tactics (used against you), and arm you with practical strategies to become a trusted advisor who can effectively advocate for security and get things done.
