Evolution Equity Partners proudly hosted the Presidents Forum SINET Series in Scottsdale, Arizona, marking another successful dialogue between global leaders and top-tier cybersecurity risk professionals. The event, held in conjunction with the SINET Risk Executive Workshop, welcomed esteemed guests, including George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, alongside Robert Rodriguez, Heather Rodriguez, and 75 leading CISOs from around the globe.
The Presidents Forum, an initiative founded by Evolution Equity Partners in 2023, serves as a crucial platform for fostering collaboration between global leaders and cybersecurity professionals. Its core mission is to collectively address and mitigate the escalating cyber threats facing individuals, organizations, and nations worldwide. Through focused discussions and interactive working sessions, the forum aims to forge practical solutions and establish a unified vision for a more secure digital future.
Building upon the success of the 2024 Presidents Forum, which featured Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, during RSA week, this year’s event continued to elevate the conversation. President Bush provided insightful perspectives on critical global issues, expanding on topics initially discussed with Robert Rodriguez at the inaugural Presidents Forum in 2023. Key areas of discussion included geopolitical hotspots such as Russia, the Middle East, and China, alongside pertinent domestic issues like tariffs, immigration, and the upcoming 2024 election.
Attendees were particularly captivated by President Bush’s engaging presentation, noting not only the informative nature of his commentary but also his characteristic humor, openness, and candor. It was a distinct honor for the assembled cybersecurity professionals, who are at the forefront of defending against cyber threats, to engage directly with a global leader on these critical issues.
Evolution Equity Partners, along with the SINET team, including Robert and Heather Rodriguez, are commended for their exceptional partnership in making the SiNETScottsdale conference and the Presidents Forum a resounding success. The cybersecurity community eagerly anticipates the 2025 Presidents Forum, scheduled once again during RSA week, to continue this vital dialogue between risk executives and global leaders.
