Elena Kvochko

Elena Kvochko isn’t just waiting for attacks—she’s on the attack. In 2020, she began her role as chief trust officer at enterprise software giant SAP. Kvochko’s purview includes working with her peers to devise controls that ward off cyberattacks and building trust with consumers. She also has a deep knowledge of data security in the banking industry. Kvochko served as a senior vice president and technology executive at Bank of America, focusing on global security. And she worked as a divisional chief information officer at Barclays Bank in New York and London. Kvochko is also an inventor of patent-pending and patented technologies, including an information card silent coercion alarm that prompts an institution to review fraudulent activity on behalf of a customer. And in her spare time, she’s a lecturer at universities. “I have always wanted to work on addressing global issues that no one company could solve alone,” Kvochko said.
