How does a pre-med English major at Stanford end up at the helm of Intuit\u2019s information technology and security operations?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his 19 years with Intuit, Chief Information and Security Officer Atticus Tysen\u2019s responsibilities have ranged from intellectual property and product management to engineering, IT, and security. In that time, some things have remained constant: a passion for applying technology to everyday life, a refusal to settle for the status quo, and a strong belief that good leadership depends on empathy, openness, and a sense of shared purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a recent <\/span>Net Effects podcast<\/span><\/a>, Atticus shared his career journey \u2013 and lessons learned. Highlights of the conversation include cultivating a career you love, creating the right kind of opportunities for yourself, keeping remote workers engaged and supported, and making sure an organization\u2019s efforts are aligned with its mission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
