About

I’m Aaron Kinder. Marine. Executive. Author. Builder.

Aaron Kinder, CISO and executive leader, photographed outside with hope heart

I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and then transitioned into the private sector, where I built a career in information security, technology, and executive leadership. Today I serve as a global Chief Information Security Officer, where I lead enterprise security strategy, risk management, and security program development across a complex, multinational environment. I write, speak, and advise at the crossroads of security and leadership because I believe the two are inseparable.

I am also an author, a patent-pending innovator, and a frequent voice on the topics of security leadership, organizational risk, and personal development. My first book, Driven (mostly) Every Day: Finding Your Drive and Building Something More, reflects my belief that consistency matters more than perfection, and that the most important thing any of us can build is a life with purpose.
