Eric Zielinski named Chief Information Security Officer at Jumpmind

Eric Zielinski has joined retail technology solutions provider Jumpmind as Chief Information Security Officer. In his new role, he will lead Jumpmind's security and cloud operations, overseeing safe information system scaling amid AI-powered innovation.

Jumpmind appointed Zielinski alongside Blake Sipek, who joined as Chief Financial Officer, according to the company. The company says the two executive appointments are meant to support the next phase of its global growth.

He previously held technology and cybersecurity leadership roles at Veeva Systems, Nationwide and The Options Clearing Corporation, the company says. A Jumpmind release says he has more than two decades of cybersecurity leadership across financial services, cloud-native SaaS platforms and Fortune 100 enterprises. Zielinski served at OCC as Director of AI and Cloud Security, where he led efforts to align generative AI governance with enterprise and regulatory risk frameworks, according to the company. Before that, he was CISO at Dizzion, where the company says he scaled security programs that balanced resilience with innovation velocity. Zielinski holds a master's degree from Carnegie Mellon, the company says. According to Jumpmind, he speaks often at industry conferences such as FS-ISAC and several FIRST events, on subjects including securing generative AI.

The company says Zielinski would speak in Denver at the FIRST Annual Conference 2026 about AI interpretability risk management. Jumpmind says he would use the talk to unveil CIRCUIT, an open-source AI interpretability risk management framework that was built specifically for the security community.

Jumpmind said that, at the time of the announcement, its Point of Service and unified promotions systems were deployed in thousands of stores across the Middle East, Europe and North America. In September, a controlling stake in Jumpmind was acquired by private equity firm Lone View Capital to invest further in its go-to-market capabilities, global expansion and product roadmap, the company says. Its retail customers include Petco, Bath & Body Works, American Eagle Outfitters and The Vitamin Shoppe, according to the company.
