This is one book that every CIO and CISO should have. It has a multitude of tips and full of advice from David that rings true in the corporate world regardless of how large is the role. David Gee is the classiest mentor one could ever have. True story, I was out of a job after my last stint as CISO during a difficult job market. Through the use of this book, I was able to properly navigate my career choices and successfully pass multiple interviews including C-suite level panel interviews and CEO interviews. The advice in this book was spot on down to the smallest details in all the interviews I passed. This book also gives you advice after attaining CISO and CIO levels, your next elevator up to set you up for a fruitful career.

Dwayne Natwick Jun 30, 2024

Rarely does a book come along where you stop and say, this book is extremely valuable for everyone in an industry. Packt Publising’s The Aspiring CIO and CISO by David J. Gee is one of those books. David has broken down and provided a guide for anyone that is looking for not just a position of CIO or CISO, but anyone that aspires to become an executive or leader within an organization. The structure of this book takes you through a level of understanding your own personal brand, to what it takes to be an executive leader, what to expect in the selection and interview process, building your strategy, and much more. This book is an excellent guide for anyone that wants to be in a leadership role and even for those that want to understand more about the leaders within their organization. I wish that I had this book in my twenties and thirties when I was wondering why I was working so hard and never being recognized for leadership positions. This book puts all of this in perspective and allows you to map your career path. I commend David on spending the time to share these gems with everyone.
