Scrum Day Madison Welcomes Carl Cahill to the Ask an Executive Anything Panel

Scrum Day Madison 2025 is pleased to welcome Carl Cahill, Chief Information Security Officer and seasoned technology executive, as one of this year’s featured speakers.

With more than two decades of experience leading cybersecurity strategy across retail, healthcare, and energy, Carl brings a vital perspective on what it means to lead in high-stakes, high-complexity environments. Carl will join the "Ask an Executive Anything" panel at Scrum Day on October 16.

At organizations like Ahold Delhaize, WPS Health Solutions, and Duke Energy, Carl has built and scaled security programs that do more than protect—they empower. His session will explore how trust, inclusion, and clear communication form the foundation of effective security—and how those same principles are essential to Agile leadership in any domain.

As a U.S. Army veteran, CISSP-certified professional, and alumnus of both Georgetown University and The Wharton School, Carl combines technical depth with a rare commitment to people-first leadership. He is known for fostering high-performing teams, driving transformation in regulated industries, and elevating conversations around unconscious bias and collaboration in the workplace.

Now working on a book about leadership and teamwork, Carl’s message is timely and urgent: when the stakes are high, the human side of leadership matters most. Whether you’re building software, safeguarding infrastructure, or guiding organizational change, this is a talk you won’t want to miss.

Join us on October 16 to hear Carl Cahill at Scrum Day Madison—and discover how a human-centered approach can strengthen your teams, your culture, and your results.
