Global Information Security Officer, Joyson Safety Systems

What's behind the mask?

Mentorship. Maria Haight is the Global Information Security Officer at Joyson Safety Systems and a technology executive who has held both the CIO and CISO chairs, with experience spanning telecommunications at Nortel, consumer packaged goods at Kellogg, finance at Zeal Credit Union, print manufacturing, and automotive. In 2026 she was named to the A100: Top 100 Accelerated CISOs and to CISO Whisperer's "Female Cybersecurity Leaders to Watch in Michigan." Her second résumé is the one that matters here: she mentors through the SIM Detroit RISE program, co-leads Women Empowering Women, and serves on the SIM Detroit Executive Board, the CIOs Against Cancer Executive Board, Kettering University's Advisory Board for Computer Sciences, and the Trend Micro AI Advisory Board. Maria knows what a single person in your corner is worth, because she has been that person for many. Support her campaign and put someone in a young woman's corner.
