Hypothetically, if my friend wanted to move from being a CISO at a large company to a consultant, what is the best way to go about it? (infosec.exchange)

@[email protected] I don't know if there is a glide path for it that doesn't start with talking about this hypothetical with a wide range of people - generally a head hunter and then a bunch of CFO/CEO/COO’s who hire consultants that fit the persons demographic skill set. I spent some time trying to figure out if I was going to go the consultant path and ended up on the same track as before but I think I easily could have stood up my own practice.

I'd tell your friend to just start talking with everyone in their network where it was reasonable to do so.
