Everwise Credit Union has named Kyle Pierce as VP, Information Security, adding extensive leadership depth to its technology and risk strategy framework. In this role, Pierce will oversee Everwise’s information security operations and risk teams, shape strategic priorities around information security governance, and partner directly with business leaders to ensure safe, seamless, and informed technology adoption.
Pierce brings more than two decades of cybersecurity and IT experience, having most recently led data security and business information security programs at Marriott International. In those roles, he oversaw cross-functional security teams supporting data security, advised senior business leaders on risk reduction strategies, and helped embed security practices directly into business units rather than treating them as downstream requirements.
Prior to that, Pierce designed and implemented comprehensive security and IT solutions, information security governance models, and security controls for regulated financial and manufacturing organizations, including OneAmerica and Allison Transmission, where his work spanned governance, risk, compliance, and enterprise security architecture.
“Kyle brings a rare blend of deep technical insight and practical business alignment,” said Dan Rousseve, Chief Information Officer at Everwise Credit Union. “His leadership will help us strengthen protection of our systems and member data, while also enabling our teams to innovate confidently and responsibly.”
Pierce holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Valparaiso University and a Master of Science in Information Security & Assurance from Norwich University. He has also earned multiple professional certifications, including Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC), Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional (GICSP), and completion of the Cyber Leadership Program through the Cyber Leadership Institute.
