In the recent edition, Europe’s Most Influential CISOs of the Year 2024, The CIO World has featured Thierry Zoller, Chief Information Security Officer, JP Morgan Payment Mobility Solutions S.A. Thierry is a cyberspace enthusiast who wants to stay ahead of such cyberspace intruders. Nearly three decades of experience as a cybersecurity expert, combined with his technical acumen and strategic vision, make Zoller ideally qualified for one of the world’s largest financial institutions. His path from being a curious adolescent in Luxembourg to being the international face of information security is an uplifting rags-to-riches tale that testifies to the power of determination and passion in surmounting adversity.
Thierry was fascinated by technology at a young age and was eager to know the mechanisms in systems and networks. Fascinated by curiosity, he was led down into a detailed study of reverse engineering and systems vulnerability, abilities that soon turned out to be a giant leap for future professions.
His career has been marked by a series of senior positions, including Head of Security Risk and Compliance Europe at Amazon and CISO at Amazon Payments. In them, his ability to navigate the complex intersection of technology, finance, and security has been honed.
Here at J.P. Morgan, he has his most challenging assignment yet: bringing mobile payments into a cashless world. His approach marries the advanced technology with a wide perspective on human nature, as attuned as he is to the fact that the weakest link in any security system always is the user.
Thierry’s impact reaches far beyond the corporate world. An active researcher and blogger, he has been credited with releasing over 100 vulnerabilities and authored numerous free security tools. His work has been cited in books and peer-reviewed publications and has made him a much-sought-after respected industry thought leader.
