I don't think it was the college major, true, but it appears she enjoyed a large scale of "falling up" into that position that most people in our industry aren't afforded.

"It appears"? From what, her LinkedIn? What concrete information do we have to make that conclusion?

  The total mismanagement of customers and expectations after the hack. It would be naive to say the just the clear oversights in management were solely to blame - you can do everything right and still have data breaches. Far more intricate attacks could be perfected had the current vulnerabilities been resolved. You can argue "its a big company" all you want and that the responsibility shifted. However, at that position, setting up a shoddy website where customers can see if they were impacted, then request/pay for their own credit freeze, is NOT SUFFICIENT handling of the situation and betrays a long historied past of never having to had handle a situation so grave. Lives and livelihoods are at stake here. This isn't just a senior software engineer or technical director job where messups only breach trust. A crappy application developer could release buggy software, but one can "delete the app" at the end of the day. You can't uncork this bottle. This is a security position over some of the most personal data available on US citizens. If there is ANY belief that this person "fell up" through a security role, that needs to be identified.
