Sr. Director - Cyber Security Technology Strategy & Management, GE Aerospace

Eric Poulin is a savvy cybersecurity leader specializing in security architecture and Zero Trust, with over 15 years of experience developing and leading cross-functional teams for large, global companies. He excels at driving technology strategies, modernizing security technology stacks, and leading risk identification and reduction initiatives.

Passionate about aligning technology initiatives with business objectives and risk targets, Eric has crafted strategic roadmaps and spearheaded the deployment of a zero-trust model that focuses on and evangelizes a Zero Trust philosophy rather than relying solely on products. This approach results in modernized corporate data and application management policies that ensure compliance with global security standards and government requirements such as CMMC.

When he’s not navigating the complexities of cybersecurity, Eric enjoys coaching his son’s First Lego League team, family ice cream adventures in his classic ’74 Camaro, and embracing anything involving snow—especially skiing.
