As CISO at Carvana, Dina Mathers leads with the guiding philosophy that “Security is a Team Sport” – a principle she has harnessed to drive groundbreaking achievements, including a 40% reduction in breach likelihood, a 38% reduction in cybersecurity premiums, and the company’s first-ever CSO award for innovative deployment of phantom tokens.
With over 15 years of experience, including leadership roles at NortonLifeLock and American Express, Mathers has established a reputation for execution and inclusivity; at Amex, she overhauled the interview process to create a more balanced and inclusive team, while as the Executive Sponsor of Carvana’s Women in Technology employee resource group, she actively promotes initiatives encouraging women to pursue cybersecurity careers. Mathers dedicated 2024 to thought leadership, speaking at webinars celebrating International Women in Cyber Day, and presenting her groundbreaking work on Carvana’s cybersecurity playbook at numerous industry events.
