Evolution Partners, a leading investment firm dedicated to fostering innovation, was honored to host the prestigious Presidents Forum SINET Series in Scottsdale, Arizona. This significant event convened during the SINET Risk Executive Workshop, gathering 75 of the world’s foremost CISOs alongside prominent figures like the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.
The event, a collaborative effort with SINET and its team including Robert Rodriguez and Heather Rodriguez, underscored the critical partnership between Evolution Partners and the cybersecurity community. The Presidents Forum, established by Evolution Partners in 2023, serves as an essential platform uniting global leaders and cybersecurity experts. Its core mission is to facilitate collaborative efforts to protect individuals, organizations, and nations from the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. Through high-level discussions and focused working sessions, the forum aims to forge solutions and establish a unified vision for a more secure digital future.
Building on the success of the 2024 forum which featured President Bill Clinton, this year’s event with President Bush continued the tradition of high-caliber dialogue. President Bush provided invaluable insights on critical global issues previously discussed at the inaugural Presidents Forum, including perspectives on Russia, the Middle East, China, trade tariffs, Israel, immigration, domestic politics, and the upcoming 2024 election. While his commentary was deeply informative, it was President Bush’s engaging humor, openness, and genuine candor that truly resonated with the audience of leading risk professionals.
Evolution Partners views it as a distinct privilege to enable these crucial conversations between global leaders and the cybersecurity professionals who are on the front lines safeguarding our nation and its enterprises from persistent cyber risks. Looking ahead, Evolution Partners is committed to presenting the 2025 Presidents Forum during RSA week, anticipating the continued advancement of this vital dialogue amongst Risk Executives and Global Leaders.
