FirstBoard.io Member Karen Walker, CFO at Sysdig was featured in the CSO online article: 8 associations that women in cybersecurity should follow.

"FirstBoard.io bills itself as a “curated collective of female tech founders, CXOs, and operating leaders working together to increase female representation on company boards” in a variety of industries, including cybersecurity, cloud, enterprise software, artificial intelligence, robotics, and internet of things.

Founded in 2020 by Rita Scroggin, an executive search partner, this organization aims to boost the representation of female technology leaders on the private and public boards of startups to post-IPO companies to help them perform better and enhance shareholder value.

In addition, FirstBoard.io advocates for gender-balanced boards and works to connect qualified, experienced leaders with organizations that understand the benefits of having women on their boards.

“As an executive of an organization on the bleeding edge of cloud-native security, I’m always searching for opportunities to connect with other female leaders in the space,” says Karen Walker, CFO at cloud cybersecurity company Sysdig. “I recently joined Firstboard.io, a curated collective of accomplished female executives who have experience in technology, operations, and company scaling and are ready to be placed on boards. Many of the Firstboard.io members have worked in cybersecurity, and some are CTOs, CIOs, and CISOs.”
