Meredith Harper

Chief Information Security Officer Synchrony Financial

Meredith is a strategic leader with 29 years of experience who is not just interested in processes, goals and objectives but most of all she is passionate about her greatest assets which are her team members. Her success has been attributed to her ability to manage large-scale complex programs that cross functional areas while advancing the skill sets and careers of her team members. Meredith is passionate about empowering women and minorities to embark upon careers in technology especially in information security where those populations are not very well represented. She’s committed to transforming the industry by driving engaging and provocative discussions around diversity, equity and inclusion and the value it brings. It is her hope that the industry transforms at a more rapid pace so that women and minorities are normalized in tech and security spaces.
