Background

About Mike Schroeder

I’m a cybersecurity and technology program leader with deep experience spanning development, consulting, professional services, and program management. What I do best is connect the dots: aligning strategy with execution so that programs deliver measurable business results while earning the trust of customers and teams. Over the past decade I’ve led large-scale delivery efforts at Imperva and Thales, balancing financial performance with customer outcomes. That’s meant steering portfolios worth millions, governing partner ecosystems, and resolving escalations at Fortune 500 accounts — but also building frameworks that stick, mentoring engagement leaders, and making sure the human side of technology is never lost in the numbers. Earlier in my career, I grew from developer to architect to consultant, working across industries from finance to telecom to government. That foundation keeps me grounded in the technical realities while I lead at the program level today. My CISSP and PMP certifications back up my structured approach, but my style is pragmatic, seasoned, and people-first. What sets me apart is range. I can talk GRC with a CISO, review KPIs with executives, or help a delivery team unblock day-to-day issues. I’m equally at home building governance for partner-delivered services as I am guiding enterprise security programs or exploring the impacts of AI and quantum on the future of work. If you’re looking for a leader who can bridge program governance, cybersecurity strategy, and customer advocacy — and who thrives in navigating both structure and change — let’s connect.
