Mary Wujek has extensive expertise in information security, portfolio and program management, business continuity, strategic planning, and product management. As Director of Global Security and Risk Management at Gartner, Inc.—a leading information technology research and advisory company—she has led many IT/Business product, service, and culture change projects, establishing new services in identity management, financial services products, customer support, penetration testing, incident response, crisis management, vulnerability assessment, application development, and network architecture.

Wujek specializes in “translating” across diverse business and IT perspectives to set strategic and implementation goals and plans, particularly for business information protection and cybersecurity programs.

Prior to joining Gartner, Wujek held executive assignments at the Federal Reserve Bank as information security officer and directed project management, business continuity, customer support, and various application development and systems integration functions.

One of her “best projects ever” was being the hands-on project manager for a nine-month implementation of the Federal Reserve Bank’s first generation (1997) customer transactional website, from back-of-napkin design to production, on time and on budget. She directed a team of specialists in architecture, standards, network and firewall design, application development, certificate authority practice, marketing, and business operations functions.

In addition to holding an Information Security Assurance Training and Rating Program-IAM certification, Wujek held US Government top secret clearance for the Federal Reserve System until 2011 and held Certified Information Systems Security Specialist and Information Systems Security Management Professional certifications 2003-9.
