Campbell, Lyn
Proofpoint Senior Vice President (SVP) for Global Operations
and Information Technology (IT), Dec 2018 – present.
Proofpoint Corporate Vice President for Global Operations, May
2014 – present. IT incompetent Proofpoint provides
cybersecurity services, particularly for email, to the
U.S. Government, particularly the IT incompetent Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Yahoo! Production
Engineering Leader, Jun 2007 – May 2014. Yahoo! Senior
Director Home Page & Verticals Production Engineering, Oct
2011 – Apr 2014.
No IT education. Only a
BA in English from the
University of California Berkeley.
Before fleeing to Proofpoint in May 2014 Campbell worked in
engineering at Yahoo! for 7 years. She was one of the IT
incompetent clowns who let hackers destroy Yahoo! in a series
of massive data breaches starting in 2013 — the bad IT
was in place long before that — and she was one of the
rats who then swam away as Yahoo! sank.
As discussed in
Net
Neutrality: Who Controls the Communications of the
Communications Controllers?, Campbell was obviously not
hired for her IT expertise. She clearly has neither the
expertise nor the desire — they usually go together
— to provide secure email. It must be something else;
see
Principles
of IT Incompetence (IT Hiring: Trading IT Competence for
Political Correctness). Being an English major her desire
is to get what she wants to say, however stupid, to a wider
audience. And given that her BA in English is from the
University of California Berkeley, home of violent anti free
speech protests (only leftist liberals can speak), what she
wants to say is very leftist liberal. Campbell would
certainly read the FCC's email to help out Google, Facebook,
Twitter, and the leftist liberal
cause.
