Deborah Golden
Principal & U.S. Cyber Risk Services Leader, Deloitte
Deborah Golden sees many aspects of leadership, but layered on top of qualities like transparency, empathy and authenticity is what she calls “grit factor.” As a principal at Deloitte, she applies that grit to cyber challenges for clients and developing strategies to meet ever-evolving needs. To get to where Golden is, it took a journey of understanding her own strengths. It is advice she gives to others, telling those who are looking to pursue leadership roles to “understand your strengths.” Golden adds, “Knowing your strengths will help you build a strong leadership team to establish a culture of personal ownership that empowers others to be fearless in their passion to succeed and courageous enough to take risks.”
