Sean Mahoney is a cybersecurity executive and Information Security Officer at Netswitch Technology Management who helps organizations govern cyber and AI risk as a business priority, not just a technical function. With more than two decades of executive leadership experience and over ten years in security leadership, Sean is known for translating risk, compliance, and emerging technology exposure into measurable business outcomes.

Before entering cybersecurity, Sean spent 30 years in global supply chain and executive management, serving as an EVP for an international manufacturing and distribution company with operations across North America. In that role, he was responsible for enterprise risk oversight, operational resilience, and large-scale digital transformation, experience that now informs his pragmatic, business-first approach to cybersecurity and AI governance.

A CISM-certified executive, Sean has designed and led risk and compliance programs aligned with ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, FINRA, CMMC, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. His work has delivered tangible results, including accelerated audit readiness, significant reductions in detection and response times, and risk remediation efforts that enabled multimillion-dollar contract wins.

Sean regularly advises executive teams and boards on responsible AI adoption, governance controls, and model risk management. He is also the publisher of the Cyber Risk Governance Insights newsletter and co-host of the Cybersecurity Chronicles podcast, where he bridges the gap between boards, executives, auditors, and technologists by framing cyber risk as a leadership and governance issue first.
