Janet Heins is an accomplished Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with more than 20 years of executive leadership experience. She has served as CISO for global organizations across multiple industries, including Merck, Biogen, W. L. Gore & Associates, Royal Caribbean, iHeartMedia, and, most recently, ChenMed.

Along the way, Janet learned that doing exceptional work is only part of what moves a career forward. Talent has to be visible. Credibility has to be built. And sometimes, you have to ask for what you’ve earned.

Drawing on two decades of executive leadership, Janet is the author of Go Ahead… Ask For It!, a strategic playbook for high performers ready to close the “Visibility Gap” and take ownership of their career advancement. She teaches professionals how to make their value visible, build credibility that compounds, and create the momentum that gets them into the rooms where decisions are made.
