Rinki Sethi Appointed CSO at Upwind Security

Upwind Security has appointed Rinki Sethi as its Chief Security Officer. In her new role, Sethi will lead Upwind’s global Information Security and Technology functions, while also helping drive company-wide strategy. The appointment places her in a broad leadership role spanning both security execution and strategic direction.

The LinkedIn post snapshot does not include details about Sethi’s prior roles or former employers beyond the appointment announcement itself. Because of that, her career background cannot be summarized accurately from the visible source without adding unsupported information. This section should be updated once the full post text or verified professional background is available.

Why this matters: Appointing a Chief Security Officer with remit across both security and technology signals that Upwind is treating security leadership as a core business function, not just a defensive one. For a security company, this kind of move suggests a push to align internal operations, product credibility, and long-term strategy under a leader with cross-functional influence.
