Buying And Investing In Australian Cyber Capability With Lara Hemmarty
Lara Hemmarty completed her studies in Computing, Systems Analysis and Design, E-Business at Western Sydney University. Lara has been an account executive, an inside sales associate for Google, responsible for growing G-suite’s customer base, supporting a productive business environment and identifying new business opportunities, generating business plans and defining strategic tactics whilst managing multiple cross-product opportunities.
More recently Lara started working with IBM in business development, social & commerce, where she assisted clients to grow business to be effective and efficient.
Lara then moved into IBM’s collaboration solutions, allowing Lara to again find the right solutions for business and assisting organisations on their journey to re-imagine their work.
Lara is still with IBM in a Security Specialist role, specialising in Security Software, which means Lara’s role is to protect important information and software that, if not protected correctly, runs the risk of adversaries (bad guys or bots) accessing the data and potentially inflicting financial damage.
Lara is also one of the NSW Cyber Security Innovation Node’s Ambassadors, which is formed by a group of business, academics, professionals and secondary students to represent the expertise and empower people to investigate roles within the Cyber Security industry.
