Cameron Executive Network Mentor

Doug English

As a two-time public-company CISO and a UNCW Cameron School of Business graduate, I bring extensive experience in high-growth technology firms and have transformed cybersecurity into a strategic enabler. I have scaled global security teams, optimized risk management programs, led complex corporate M&A, and effectively communicated board-level cyber governance. My focus is aligning security architectures and business goals while leveraging cloud, AI, and automation to reduce risk. I am committed to executive leadership and talent development, and I aim to share practical guidance on early-career growth in cybersecurity and AI with students. I also look forward to connecting with other CEN leaders to discuss emerging trends, strategy, and other technology leadership topics.
