Meet the Speaker
Tara Fardellone
CISO, Lionbridge
Tara’s journey into cybersecurity was anything but traditional. She earned her degree in Earth and Atmospheric Science from Cornell, but her curiosity in technology grew as she taught herself HTML, built websites, and even launched a side business in web development. That hands-on work eventually exposed her to cybersecurity, especially after experiencing her first hack.
Later, while working in marketing operations at Lionbridge, Tara’s passion for technology merged with opportunity. She transitioned into the Trust Team under the CISO’s mentorship, who encouraged her to lean into her curiosity and willingness to learn, exposing the art of the possible to her. That shift solidified her career in governance, risk, and compliance.
