What does it take to turn bold ideas into real-world impact — at a global cybersecurity company?

In this episode of Impact: Women in Leadership, we sit down with Audra Simons, Vice President of Software Engineering, Global Products at Everfox. Audra is a results-driven technology leader who believes that innovation without execution is just noise.

From startups to global blue-chip organizations, Audra shares the leadership lessons that translated across every environment—and the ones that didn’t.

Everfox delivers mission-critical solutions, including cross-domain security, cyber threat protection, and insider risk technologies. Audra explains how this product-focused structure enables teams to innovate, scale, and deliver secure solutions worldwide—without losing focus or agility.

We explore:

• Her career journey into senior technology leadership
• Leading global product engineering teams across regions
• Building influence in technical and male-dominated spaces
• Turning innovative ideas into executed outcomes
• Relationship management as a leadership superpower
• Creating a culture where innovation is delivered—not just discussed
• Mindset shifts for women pursuing executive roles in technology
