Andrea Abell

Andrea Abell recently joined Eli Lilly as the Chief Information Security Officer where she is excited to tackle an evolving set of security challenges that require balancing technology, business priorities, and human nature. Prior to joining Lilly, Abell was the CISO at NBCUniversal responsible for protecting a global ecosystem, encompassing a diverse portfolio ranging from live broadcasts and filmed content to theme parks and streaming services. Over six years, the NBCUniversal cyber team transformed into a proactive and intelligence-driven cyber organization. During her 17 years at Lockheed Martin, Abell held a variety of positions and earned a reputation as a cyber security thought leader, implementing innovative and robust cyber solutions.

As much as she enjoys her work in cyber security, Abell is incredibly proud of her life outside of work. She and Patrick, her husband, have 3 amazing kids: Luke (20), Max (16), and Maggie (13). When not spending time with her family, Abell can be found enjoying outdoors, spending time with friends, and supporting a few organizations with causes important to their family.
