Caitlin Wood Huber
Vice president of global cyber operations and support,
ZeroFox
For Caitlin Wood Huber, vice president of global cyber operations
and support at Baltimore-based ZeroFox, a career in cybersecurity
wasn’t always in the cards. In college, she studied communication
and graphic design, rather than computer science or engineering. But
she considers her liberal arts background an asset, as she works with
customers such as Nokia and the FBI to diagnose their cyber needs.
“That communication background really helps in making sure that
we’re getting out the right information to our customers and that they
can look to us as a leader,” Huber, 34, said.
Founded in 2013, ZeroFox has grown from a few employees based on
Light Street to a public company with 900 employees, now based out of
a former Pabst Brewing bottling facility in South Baltimore.
In her role, Huber supervises five teams of employees. Combined,
they have taken down nearly 700,000 pieces of inappropriate content
on social media over the past year using the ZeroFox platform, she
said, including phishing scams and other potentially malicious posts.

Geri Royale Byrd
Director of community and external affairs, Archdiocese
of Baltimore; director of Seek the City to Come initiative
When the Archdiocese of Baltimore hired Geri Royale Byrd, 56, to
direct Seek the City to Come, the multiyear initiative by which it hopes
to revolutionize operations in the city, the West Baltimore native and
lifelong Catholic said she felt her life coming full circle.
The award-winning strategic communications professional spent
decades helping East Coast firms and public agencies realize their
visions. Now she’s driving an unprecedented self-improvement
campaign by the nation’s oldest archdiocese.
Byrd says her team will weigh all ideas as the Church reassesses how
it does business in the city, and she’s making good on that vow. More
than 75% of Baltimore’s Catholics have taken part in the town halls,
surveys and parish meetings she has led. She’s about to launch a second,
“visioning” phase, with the flock called on to brainstorm, turning the
findings into reality.
“Seek the City to Come is ultimately about bringing everyone to the
table with their multiple gifts, in one body, for the mission of Christ,”
she said. “If we can lock arms together, we can unleash the power of
God and brightly spread his light. I’m hope-filled for this initiative and
for our city.”
