Show Notes
In this episode, Manish sits down with Raju Bhatia, Chief Security Officer at Regions Bank. With more than 25 years of experience — including two decades with the FBI and senior corporate security leadership at Bank of America — Raj shares how his career evolved from federal investigations to leading intelligence-driven security programs in the private sector. He unpacks what it takes to move from reactive response to proactive prevention, how to break down silos in large organizations, and why duty of care must be embedded into business strategy — not treated as a standalone function.
You’ll learn:
- How to transition from reactive security to an intelligence-led, proactive model that mitigates incidents before they escalate
- What it takes to influence up, across, and down — and speak the language of the business as a modern CSO
- How to build a culture of safety and duty of care that protects people, brand, and enterprise value in today’s dynamic threat environment
