Background

About Brian Odian

A trusted presence in the complex and evolving world of Information Security, my mission is to reduce cyber-risk, overseeing the strategic delivery of security and compliance programs worldwide. Having built my career from the ground up through various Technical, Program Management, and Global Senior Leadership roles, I now serve as a Director at VikingCloud. In my current role, I directly contribute to global strategy, working closely with other business leaders to set and achieve delivery and financial goals. Adding value beyond the defined scope of my role, I partner with stakeholders from executive level to the frontline, leveraging extensive technical expertise, supporting the successful delivery of complex, high performing security solutions. I am at my best when thinking ‘big’, positively questioning the status quo, and promoting new ways of thinking and working. As an innovative cyber security leader with a clear vision for the future, I define commercial and product strategies that align with the need for continuous industry transformation. To achieve this, I foster agile, accountable cultures focused on the customer, and develop skilled, collaborative, high-performance teams who are passionate about their work. As a recognised global authority on cybersecurity best practices, I am dedicated to driving continuous industry education and reform. That commitment has resulted in invitations to speak at prominent conferences and events worldwide. My thought leadership is also reflected in my published articles and contributions for organisations such as ISACA, the Project Management Institute (PMI), and the Australian Federal Government. I enjoy building connections across industry and communities. Feel free to get in touch via LinkedIn.
