In this new role, Wahlin will be responsible for global
enterprise-wide information, product and data security. He will
report to Chief Technology Officer Faisal Masud, who leads Staples
Digital Solutions, a new organization within the company which
combines its traditional IT and digital organizations.
Wahlin’s role will be key in the digital transformation of

enterprise information security architecture, policy, operations
and development,” said Masud. “The security of both our customers’
and Staples’ data is critical, and we’ll look to Brett to bring his
knowledge of the latest security standards and best practices to
the role, as we continue to evolve into a digital-first
company.”
Wahlin joins Staples from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE),
where he served as vice president and CISO. While at HPE, he was
responsible for all aspects of information security, including
security operations and intelligence, security architecture, cyber
risk and governance, product lifecycle security, business security
and transformation, industry next security and cyber service
delivery. He built world-class, extensible security capabilities
that protected HPE’s assets and workforce, enabled and extended
business capabilities and showcased its security solutions at
work.
Previously, Wahlin served as Chief Security Officer (CSO) for
Sony Network Entertainment International and CSO at McAfee. He has
also worked as CISO at Los Alamos National Laboratory, vice
president of security architecture for Wells Fargo, and held
