TJ Mead
My background uniquely combines roles in business continuity, disaster recovery, IT, management consulting, datacenter operations, and cloud technologies, but my focus has been consistent: ensuring the seamless and uninterrupted operation of the business. By putting appropriate strategies and safeguards in place, I mitigate risks, protect critical data assets, and fortify the resilience of the organization. My signature achievement lies in revolutionizing the traditional approaches to business continuity, technology continuity, and enterprise resilience with the creation of the Netflix Unified Resilience Framework. The success of this initiative has not only fortified Netflix's resilience posture but has also garnered widespread recognition, with a published paper and invitations to speak at global conferences and engage with various organizations seeking to adopt our groundbreaking methodology. The framework is highly scalable for companies of all sizes and is adaptable to varied legal and regulatory requirements across different industries. My career successes have been built upon a foundation of teamwork, collaboration, and profound appreciation for diversity. My team-oriented approach is key to both my leadership style and who I am as a person. We succeed together. Throughout my career, I have been involved in both formal and informal mentoring programs, including Year Up, an org seeking to close the opportunity divide for young adults—no matter their background.
