CALDWELL ENHANCES RECRUITING CAPABILITIES WITH THE ADDITION OF MARKET-LEADING CYBER SECURITY RECRUITER

The Caldwell Partners International Inc. has made a major enhancement to its cybersecurity recruiting capabilities with the addition of Sophie De Ferranti as a partner in the firm's data, digital and technology leaders practice.

"The pace of digitalization, accelerated by the pandemic and geopolitical stress factors, has intensified cyber risk for organizations and created higher demand for experienced cybersecurity professionals amidst a global talent shortage," said Jim Bethmann, managing partner of Caldwell's technology practice. "Sophie's market-leading expertise in placing executives of the highest level in this critical area makes her an invaluable addition to the Caldwell team."

Ms. De Ferranti advises C-suite executives and board members on their organization's cyber risk strategy and builds world-class security teams for her clients. Her functional expertise extends across industries such as financial services, pharmaceuticals, health care, aerospace, and technology, media and telecommunications. She is passionate about identifying and supporting women leaders in cybersecurity and technology and brings a modern approach to global people advisory solutions.

Prior to joining Caldwell, Ms. De Ferranti spent 25 years in senior leadership positions at global executive search, financial services and specialist consulting firms in Singapore, New York, London and Zurich. In her earlier career she held a high-security UN-classified role at the NATO headquarters in Brussels.

Ms. De Ferranti is based in London with an international client base extending across the United States, Europe and the Middle East. She is fluent in English, Spanish and German and conversant in Italian and French. In her personal time, she is an avid polo player and instructor.

"We remain focused on adding highly skilled and content-focused search professionals to our partner team, to the betterment of our ability to serve our clients," said Chris Beck, president. "Cybersecurity is an area of tremendous importance and growth, and Sophie's addition to the team enhances our capability in this space. We're excited to have her on board and eagerly anticipate the addition of more new partners to the Caldwell team in the weeks and months ahead."
