Greg Sullivan Joins Technology Partners to Coach CIOs and CISOs Through High-Stakes Transitions

In a world where digital risk has become boardroom priority number one, Technology Partners, Inc. is doubling down on its mission to future-proof executive leadership. The firm announced this week that Greg Sullivan—co-founder of CIOSO Global and a veteran cybersecurity strategist—has joined its elite executive coaching team.

The move signals a growing trend in the C-suite: cybersecurity is no longer the domain of back-office technologists. It’s a central pillar of strategic decision-making. And Sullivan, with a résumé that spans enterprise IT leadership at Carnival Corporation and startups alike, is stepping in to help leaders bridge the widening gap between risk and readiness.

Sullivan will work directly with CIOs, CISOs, and senior technology executives navigating leadership transitions and cyber-inflection points—those critical, high-pressure moments where both infrastructure and trust hang in the balance.

“Through personalized coaching, we enhance leaders' effectiveness, improve decision-making, and drive growth,” said Kath Marston, Executive Director of Leadership Development Practice at Technology Partners. “Greg’s high profile and in-depth cybersecurity and information technology experience at every organizational level will help our customers unlock leadership potential and prepare for transitions while minimizing disruption for sustained success.”

That leadership DNA is rooted in more than technical prowess. Sullivan, a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), brings decades of field-tested insight into aligning cybersecurity with business outcomes. At CIOSO Global, he has advised companies across industries on navigating regulatory pressures, operational complexity, and escalating threat landscapes—all while remaining nimble and strategic.

“I’m excited to join with TPI and collaborate on developing next-generation technology leaders,” said Sullivan. “Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue; it’s a core business risk. I look forward to helping executives evolve their leadership approach and build stronger, more secure organizations.”

Sullivan’s addition sharpens TPI’s edge in an era when the role of the CIO and CISO is being reshaped by AI, regulatory scrutiny, and increasingly sophisticated threat actors. With executive turnover rising in cyber-adjacent roles, coaching engagements that blend technical context with leadership agility are no longer a luxury—they’re a necessity.

This partnership is more than a resume boost. It’s a recognition that the most valuable leaders in tech today aren’t just cyber-literate—they’re risk fluent, business fluent, and change ready.
