Identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis response firm Semperis has appointed John Podboy as chief information security officer.
Podboy brings a unique understanding of the business need for true resilience to the Hoboken-based firm, heightened by his experience in leadership roles at organizations such as Fifth Third Bank, First Citizens Bank, Thomson Reuters and GE Digital.
There, he focused on building and scaling security programs that protect critical assets while supporting business growth.
He has more than 15 years of experience spanning cybersecurity, technology management, digital transformation, risk, and resilience.
Podboy has led large-scale security programs for federal agencies and global brands across retail, manufacturing, industrial, technology, media, and financial services.
At Semperis, he will leverage his deep knowledge of the AI era and the escalating risks in an increasingly dynamic threat landscape.
In December, Cushman & Wakefield facilitated a significant office lease for Semperis at the prestigious 111 River Street building in Hoboken, in a Class A waterfront property owned by SJP Properties.
