Who leads security at Home Depot

CISO Tribune company record: Home Depot, current seat holder not yet confirmed

Re-checked: Home Depot's own leadership page (corporate.homedepot.com/leadership) still does not list a standalone CISO; cybersecurity falls under EVP & Chief Information Officer Angie Brown, whose official bio covers 'all aspects of the company's technology strategy, software development, cybersecurity and infrastructure.' A Deputy CISO (Mike Buratowski) is listed on LinkedIn, but no top CISO seat is publicly named. The last explicitly named CISO hire found in press coverage is from 2018 (CIO Dive).

Board oversight: Home Depot's April 7, 2026 proxy statement names the Audit Committee as overseeing, or receiving reports from, this seat. Full passage on our board committee oversight report. The passage in the proxy statement: “Since the beginning of Fiscal 2025, the Board and/or the Audit Committee has also received reports on privacy, data protection and/or cybersecurity matters from senior Information Technology leaders, including our Chief Information Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Privacy Officer, and the Chair of our DSPG Committee (discussed below).”

What Home Depot tells the SEC

Read the section verbatim or the filing on sec.gov. A filing describes governance as of its date, not today's seat.
