BostonCISO ORBIE Leadership Award recipient: CVS Health CISO Chandra McMahon on why the role is more strategic than ever — and advice for future leaders
expand Chandra McMahon, senior vice president and chief information security officer (CISO) at CVS Health . Chandra McMahon is a seasoned cybersecurity executive and board member with over 30 years of experience leading complex security and technology programs across the health care, telecommunications and defense industries. She most recently served as senior vice president and chief information security officer (CISO) at CVS Health, where she was responsible for the company's enterprise-wide information security strategy, governance, risk management and operations. In this role, she led initiatives to protect customer and company data and also acted as the executive sponsor of CVS Health's Women in Technology forum, advocating for women's leadership in technology. Prior to CVS Health, McMahon was the CISO at Verizon, overseeing the company's cybersecurity strategy and operations. Earlier in her career, she held multiple leadership roles at Lockheed Martin, including vice president and CISO, vice president of Commercial Markets and president of Lockheed Martin Corporate Properties Inc. McMahon currently serves on the board of directors at EPAM Systems as an independent director and member of the audit committee. She also serves on the Aspen Institute Cyber Strategy Group, a cross-sector public-private forum focused on translating pressing cybersecurity conversations into action. McMahon holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from Virginia Tech, a Master in Engineering Science from Penn State University and several cybersecurity certifications. Recognized as one of the Top 100 CISOs by Security Current CISO Connect and inducted into the CSO Hall of Fame, McMahon is also a passionate advocate for reducing burnout and improving mental health within the cybersecurity community. McMahon is the recipient of the Leadership Award as part of the 2025 BostonCISO ORBIE Awards. She provided insights below about the biggest challenges facing CISOs and advice for future generations. What does the Leadership Award honor mean to you? Winning the CISO Leadership Award is a profound honor that reflects the dedication and brilliance of the cybersecurity teams I have had the privilege of leading. It signifies more than personal achievement — it's a testament to our shared commitment to safeguard customer information, enable seamless access to services and build a future where trust, innovation and customer service go hand in hand. This award inspires us to keep pushing boundaries, knowing that our work truly makes a difference for every customer we serve. What are some of the biggest challenges facing CISOs? CISOs today face a perfect storm of challenges: delivering business value and safeguarding asset integrity while navigating the explosive proliferation of AI — which has accelerated the speed, scale and sophistication of cyber threats across an ever-expanding enterprise landscape. Attackers now leverage AI to automate attacks and exploit vulnerabilities faster than traditional defenses can respond, while defenders race to harness the same technologies for real-time detection and response. The complexity of managing security across interconnected supply chains, cloud environments and third parties increases risk and reduces visibility, making holistic oversight critical. At the same time, CISOs must clearly demonstrate the value of cybersecurity investments to boards and stakeholders, translating technical risk into business impact and fostering trust at every level. Effective CISOs now demand a rare blend of technical expertise, business acumen and strategic leadership to protect not just data, but the organization's reputation and future. How has the role of the CISO evolved in recent years? The CISO role has rapidly transformed from a technical guardian to a strategic business leader. No longer confined to IT, today's CISOs are integral to executive decision-making, often reporting directly to the CEO and holding a seat at the boardroom table. Their responsibilities now include shaping enterprise risk strategy, driving digital transformation and aligning security with business objectives. As organizations digitize and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, CISOs must bridge technical and business language, manage stakeholder expectations and foster a culture of resilience and trust. The modern CISO is a catalyst for innovation, a builder of cross-functional alliances and a visible champion for both security and value realization — proving that cybersecurity is not just a technical imperative, but a foundational business enabler. Do you have any advice for future generations of CISOs? My advice to the next generation of cybersecurity professionals is to embrace your role as both protector and innovator. Find your passion within this vast field — whether it's hands-on technical work, strategic leadership or bridging the gap between technology and your customers — and let that guide your journey. Marrying purpose with passion in cybersecurity means finding deep meaning in every challenge and every solution. When you align your drive to innovate with the higher calling of protecting lives and empowering communities, your work becomes more than just a job — it becomes a mission. Stay curious, adaptable and committed to continuous growth. Seek mentors, build your network and share what you learn — your voice and expertise can inspire others and drive meaningful change. In this field, passion ignites progress, and purpose gives it direction; together, they transform obstacles into opportunities to make a real, lasting difference. Above all, remember that cybersecurity, whether in health care or any other industry, is ultimately about people. Your vigilance protects not just data, but the trust, dignity and well-being of every patient, customer and individual you serve. Lead with integrity, collaborate across disciplines and let your sense of purpose fuel your pursuit of excellence. The future of our profession — and the technological advancement and security of countless others — will be shaped by your dedication and vision.

New ADs at Chaminade-Madonna. Plus more state tennis, baseball, boys' volleyball
Miami Divine Savior senior Lauren Kettlewell ended her high school varsity tennis career in style by winning an FHSAA State Championship at girls' No.1 singles in Class 1A to become the first Divine Savior tennis player to win state. Kettlewell is the daughter of Divine Savior tennis coach Jenny Sotomayor. This was her first and only season playing high school tennis for Divine Savior as she did online schooling prior, and Divine Savior does not allow online students to participate in school sports. As a 6th-8th grader, she competed high school varsity tennis for state and national champ Doral Academy. Kettlewell, who reported to Divine Savior for the 2024-25 school year, defeated last year's state champ Maria Navarro, a sophomore from North Palm Beach The Benjamin School, 6-3, 7-5 in the state finals. In the state semifinals, Navarro eliminated Miami True North senior Daniela Chica, while Kettlewell ousted senior Laziza Talipova of Winter Park Trinity Prep. Kettlewell also recorded state wins over 8th grader Emily Kao of Community School of Naples, junior Anna Philliips of Niceville Rocky Bayou Christian and junior Gabriela Rocker of Tampa Prep. Chica later bounced back (teaming with senior Alba Martinez) to win state at girls' No.1 doubles by beating Kettlewell and senior Anabella Parente in a battle in the finals 6-3, 3-6, 11-9. Prior, True North girls won their third consecutive team state title. Kettlewell finished the 2025 high school season undefeated in singles play at 17-0 with a 2025 state title.

Chaminade-Madonna ADs The Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory administration is pleased to announce that two new athletic directors have been hired. After a nationwide committee led search, Caytie Lagrange and Gerard Albert have been named to lead Lions sports and will begin their new roles starting July 1, 2025. 'It's a new day for Lions' athletics,' Head of School Dr. Judith Mucheck said. 'The model we used for years could not keep up with the pace, prowess, and success of all our programs. It is virtually impossible for one person to offer the support and supervision which is called for in today's high school athletic programs.' Lagrange will be athletic director for the women's program. She is no stranger to South Florida athletics, having served as an athletic trainer at Monsignor Pace High School before teaching science and sports medicine at Chaminade-Madonna the past 13 years. She is a founding moderator of the Women Engaged Club and is the chairperson of the Mission Integration committee. 'I am both grateful and excited to be named the new athletic director for the women's program,' said Lagrange. 'What a way to support our female athletes by reinforcing a growth mindset, integrity, resilience, leadership and sense of self in the classroom and to encourage them to shine on the athletic fields.... Always moving toward a better world.' Albert has served in an athletic administrative capacity and is also well known in the baseball arena. He most recently served as the athletic director at West Boca Raton High School. He also spent part of his tenure at Belen Jesuit and Coral Springs Charter high schools. 'I look forward to getting back into the Catholic School environment, where I have spent the majority of my career,' said Albert. 'After my first meeting with Dr. Mucheck, I immediately realized that our vision, values and goals for an athletic program at the high school level were very much aligned. I am excited about joining the leadership team at Chaminade-Madonna and am confident that Mrs. Lagrange and I will be able to facilitate a major jump in all aspects of the Lions athletic program in the very near future.' Mucheck added, 'I was pleased to see the deep interest in our school and programs from all candidates that applied. Our student athletes are clearly making a positive impact on high school sports in South Florida. We are committed to providing comprehensive support to nurture their development.'
