Part of WISP’s mission is to help women of data protection, cybersecurity and related areas develop their networks and leadership skills. In our third session of 2026, we’ll be gathering inspiring women leaders in these fields for a night of learning and connection, as they share their journeys with us and we explore what modern leadership looks like in an age of rapid technological and social change.
We’ll kick off the evening with networking and refreshments on our lovely indoor / outdoor terrace on the fourth floor — when the sun is shining the views over the sea and Dublin mountains can’t be beaten!
After we’ve gotten acquainted we’ll be hearing from these distinguished leaders —
⭐ Anne O’Leary, VP of Mid-Market SMB Group, EMEA Meta and Head of Meta Ireland will be welcoming attendees on the night, and sharing lessons from her highly successful career, and her insights on leadership.
Anne will be followed by:
- Dr Valerie Lyons, COO, BH Consulting
- Dr. Aleksandra Aytova, FIP, Group Head of Privacy, Applegreen
- Elena Donea, CEO at Whatsexposed
- Indu Sajeev, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Strategic Advisor at Nebulock
- Síne Creamer, VP, Deputy General Counsel at Bumble
We want to ensure that the event is as inclusive and welcoming as possible, so do feel free to bring a friend who might be new to WISP, even if they aren’t in a “traditional” data protection or cybersecurity role. The event is for women and allies, and people of all genders are most welcome.
We look forward to seeing you there!
