career to date and knowledge of application security are a
testament to the skills, aptitude, and authority she brings to the
table. Her perspective will be a valuable asset as F5 expands its
security and technology efforts to better support today’s
multi-cloud environments and modern enterprises’ digital
transformation efforts.”

and risk management expertise from a variety of industries,
including healthcare, finance, and transportation/logistics. She
joins F5 from Seattle Children’s, where she served as CISO. She has
also held security leadership positions at Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center, Port of Seattle, JPMorgan Chase, and Washington
