How Nana is building a better working world
The companies represented in the consumer and health industry group cater to the core needs of any human being, e.g., shelter, clothing, food and health. Nana’s work helps these critical companies establish trust with their stakeholders through repeatable, defensible, dynamic and sustainable cybersecurity practices. Protecting data is most important to stakeholders, as well as limiting access to only those who need it for specified purposes and continuing to deliver critical goods and services even in the event of a cyber breach. Her work also helps companies demonstrate alignment and adherence to governance and regulatory bodies’ expectations.
In and beyond her client work, Nana applies her purpose of paying it forward by supporting individuals to achieve their definition of success. She serves on the Board of MENTOR Minnesota and leads several professional networks, including the Cyber Black Professional Network, the EY Executive Cyber Leadership Forum and the Minneapolis Ethnicity Professional Network.
