Back to Source Episode 7: Leading with vulnerability and authority Interview with Sam Roper, Director of Enterprise Security Operations EMEA, Netflix

Back to Source

What makes a good leader in corporate security?

Sam Roper is Director of Enterprise Security Operations EMEA at Netflix, where she oversees all aspects of the corporate security program. In this episode of Back to Source, she discusses her leadership style - which she describes as “direct” - and how to be both open and authentic with your team whilst maintaining their respect.

She also explores the challenges of returning from maternity leave - or any other career break - into a senior position. What happens when the person who covered your position now has to work for you? And how do you deal with the knowledge that you are, literally, replaceable?

Sam has more than 15 years of experience in the security industry, from security consulting to in-house roles at major global companies in the tech & entertainment sector. A large part of her career has focused on the Middle East and Africa.

This interview is hosted by Hannah Poppy, head of intelligence and analysis operations at Dragonfly.
