Stockwell will bring her story of achievement at the Paralympics as well as her larger journey to the CSO Conference & Awards, taking place October 21-23 near Phoenix.
As a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, she deployed to Baghdad, Iraq, where a blast from a roadside bomb struck her Humvee. She lost her left leg above the knee – the first female soldier to lose a limb in active combat – and was awarded both the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart.
Following her long road to recovery, she learned many hard lessons about the support of a team, believing in ourselves, and the power of choice. No person or organization can avoid obstacles in life, whether they come in the form of bombs or cyberattacks. But we can control our response.
