    Gil Vega, Veeam Software

    Gil Vega, chief information security officer at Veeam Software Corp., is one of two winners for WashingtonExec’s 2021 Chief Officer Award for Private Company CISO.

    In its second year, the Chief Officer Awards luncheon was held May 27 as a virtual live-streamed program to recognize C-suite executives in both industry and government for their innovation, expertise, impact and thought leadership.

    Vega joined Veeam Software in 2020 to establish and maintain Veeam’s vision and strategy to ensure its information assets and solutions are protected. He also drives strategies to help customers protect their critical data across multiple environments and ensures regulatory compliance.

    Prior to Veeam, Vega served as managing director and CISO at CME Group, Inc. and as the associate chief information officer and CISO for the Energy Department and U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement. He has also held various cybersecurity leadership positions within the Defense Department and the intelligence community.

    Vega has undergraduate and graduate degrees in information systems and information assurance, is a graduate of the Federal Executive Institute in Charlottesville, Virginia, and a veteran of the U.S. Army.
