Joe Marroquín — Board-Tested Technology, Cybersecurity & AI Executive

Every Executive Sees the Same Dashboard. Not Every Executive Sees the Same Risk.

The difference is judgment.

Joe Marroquín is a board-facing technology, cybersecurity, and AI governance executive. Founding CISO of Vestis (NYSE: VSTS) and former CISO of a DHS-designated critical infrastructure provider serving Disney, HBO, BBC, the NFL, NASA, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Joe served as the founding CISO of Vestis (NYSE: VSTS), helping establish the technology, security, compliance, and governance foundations of a newly independent $3 billion public company. Previously, as CISO of Encompass Digital Media, a private-equity-owned global media technology provider, he directed cybersecurity and compliance for a U.S. Department of Homeland Security–designated National Critical Infrastructure organization and a U.K. Critical National Infrastructure provider supporting more than 2,000 television channels and global media distribution platforms.

His leadership combines enterprise risk management, operational resilience, AI governance, and technology strategy to deliver measurable business outcomes in highly regulated, mission-critical environments. A trusted advisor to boards, executive teams, regulators, auditors, investors, and private-equity stakeholders, Joe is recognized for building pragmatic, resilient organizations that balance innovation, governance, security, and operational performance at enterprise scale.

Translation Requires Understanding.

Effective leadership requires understanding the nuances of every language through which information flows: technology, cybersecurity, compliance, operations, governance, executive leadership, boards, and capital. We all know we need to get to the language the executives and boards and investors speak — but we need to understand technology to translate technology.
