Students have a once in a lifetime opportunity to interact “LIVE” with the CEO of Skyhigh Security formerly McAfee, Mr. Gee Rittenhouse. Gee is a recognized innovation leader whose passion is creating technology solutions that empower people. Gee joined Skyhigh Security in January 2022 to help organizations thrive by providing a simpler way to secure their data. Before stepping into the role of CEO, Gee was the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco’s Security Business Group and previously served as Vice President and General Manager of Cisco's Cloud and Virtualization Group, helping shape the company’s cloud and virtualization strategy. Before Cisco, Gee was President of Bell Labs, famous for Noble Prize-winning innovations.

Gee has a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This is an amazing opportunity to be able to take a step inside an organization and experience the life of a CEO and learn how things work from their perspective. You get a snapshot of what it means to be a leader from the top down.

About This Provider

Oiada International

Elizabeth, NJ
United States

Oiada International is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that has been providing award-winning educational and experiential programs via videoconference that takes learning beyond the four walls of the school building. Since the opening of our NJ and Ghana, West Africa centers in 2009, over 400,000 students in 50 US states and 32 countries worldwide have engaged in our programs. What differentiates our programs from other distance learning programs is that we give students the opportunity to interact “LIVE” face to face with their international peers in order to develop educational/cultural awareness and relationships.

The primary goal of Oiada is to prepare students for the global workforce and empower them to become 21st century global citizens and world leaders. One way to make education relevant is to provide students with the necessary learning tools and opportunities so they gain the core competencies necessary to understand and appreciate the world in which they live while caring enough about others to want to make a global difference. Global education is not a new idea…but how to deliver that education is where we excel. Oiada’s programs provides a unique opportunity for educational and cultural growth, which gives students an edge in the classroom and a head start in life.
