Janie Aggas Fidelity Investments Vice President of Information Security

Janie is a Vice President and Information Security Officer at Fidelity Investments. She leads a global Information Security team, responsible for protecting the largest business unit at Fidelity, its associates and Fidelity’s customers. She also serves as the Chief Infor- mation Security Officer for Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company. Janie recognized her passions for the legal field and technology in her teens, even consid- ering law school and has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to explore both areas of interest independently prior to landing in Cybersecurity. She spent her early career as

an Escrow Officer working for an attorney prior to shifting into a deep technology position requiring a top-secret securi- ty clearance, at a major national security site for the US. She served as a core member of their Enterprise Architecture team while concurrently leading the implementation of the organization’s Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) program. That experience led her to an opportunity at Fidelity, as an IT Service Manager for a technology-fo- cused business unit. She quickly mastered that role and was offered an expanded role to develop a specialized function with a focus on security, risk and compliance. This combination of technology plus security, risk and compliance experi- ence afforded her the opportunity to transition into Information Security now serving in an executive capacity for Cyber- security. She loves the ISO role because of the focus on both the legal field and technology.
