Soft Skills are Key in Cyber and Technology Careers With Deidre Diamond

Tue, 27 Jun 2017 12:28:17 GMT

Soft Skills are Key in Cyber and Technology Careers!At only 26 years old Deidre Diamond was the Vice President of Sales for the national technical staffing agency Motion Recruitment, in charge of leading the hiring, training and development of hundreds of technical recruiters from an entry-level college graduate hiring model.Diamond took this almost 15 years of technical staffing experience to Rapid7 (NYSE:RPD) as their first Vice President of Sales. Diamond’s leadership resulted in Rapid7’s new sales revenue increasing from $800,000 to $20M in under four years—consequently creating $45M in new revenue generation. Diamond then became the CEO of Percussion Software, where she led the new content marketing software releases and learned the operations and execution of digital marketing, content marketing and web development.Diamond is now the Founder and CEO of national cyber security staffing company CyberSN and the not-for-profit organization #brainbabe (brainbabe.org). Because Diamond herself was hired as an entry-level college graduate and trained to lead technology service and cybersecurity organizations, she believes the tech community needs to expand its awareness of what it means “to be in tech” and “to be in cybersecurity.” In 2016, Deidre joined ICMCP as a Strategic Board member, working to include more diversity hires in the cyber security community.Contact Deidre:Web: https://cybersn.com/Email: deidre_diamond@cybersn.comContact Avrohom:web: http://asktheceo.bizemail: avrohomg@asktheceo.bizTwitter: @avrohomgInstagram: @avrohomgPhone: +1 (845) 418-5340Phone: +972-72-224-4449Avrohom is a Cybersecurity advisor who specializes in security solutions for Telecom Providers and Contact Centers in Global Organizations.
