Identity leaders rarely build just one program. They inherit, they migrate, they start over — sometimes across very different industries. So what travels with you?

In this fifteen-minute fireside, a senior executive who leads enterprise identity and security globally for a national healthcare system shares the playbook he carries into every program: how he evaluates a platform, what he has learned to check between the first and the third, and what he measures once a program is running. He has built it across three organizations — a commercial airline, a private aviation operator, and the healthcare system he runs today — and Bridgesoft has been the outcome each time. The more useful conversation is the process: what stays constant about an identity program anywhere, what catches you off-guard crossing verticals, what aviation did and did not prepare him for in healthcare, and what is measurably different in his programs.

This is a practitioner's account of doing the same job, well, in three very different environments — and the transferable lessons of having lived it more than once. If you are inheriting a program, rethinking one, or moving into a new vertical, this is the conversation to sit in on.

You will learn:

•    Three identity programs, three very different environments — what governing identity actually looks like across commercial aviation, private aviation, and a national healthcare system.
•    What stays constant about standing up an identity program, what changes the moment you cross verticals, and what to evaluate in your first 90 days when you inherit one.
•    A practitioner's evaluation framework for choosing an identity platform — what to check, what to refuse to compromise on, and what experience teaches you to check the second time that you didn't know to check the first.
•    The identity problems healthcare poses that aviation did not prepare him for — and what other identity leaders should brace for when they move verticals
