About Dennis Sullivan

My professional passion lies in translating between business and technology domains and bringing cross functional teams together because integrating behaviors is at least as important as using the proper technology tools, particularly for Cyber and Information Security. Driving cybersecurity innovation, our team's single mission at CIC Advisors LLC is to enhance executive decision-making and fortify their organization's resilience by better recognizing, understanding, and navigating digital threats. To accomplish this, we provide a comprehensive information platform delivering confidential, interactive guidance in non-technical terms so that managers, executives and directors know exactly what cyber security means to their enterprise. My career at the nexus of business, technology and education has led to me being recognized for the ability to translate across domains, replacing jargon and buzz words from one side with terms relevant to the other, thereby unlocking powerful collaborations. Successful deployments and effective vigilance require this level of co-operation. My executive responsibilities as the Director of IT Strategy Communications at Harvard, Enterprise Risk Manager for a global financial giant, Head of Data Resources for several of the world's largest trading firms, and trustee to my local non-profit nature conservancy have honed my ability to work effectively with people at all levels, and technology of all types. I'm dedicated to making technology really work for business and education, by contributing to or leading high-performance teams wherever technology is being deployed, particularly for Cyber Security.
