About this session
The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is almost here, where split‑second decisions define success on the world’s biggest stage. Few people understand this better than the World’s Best Referee, Pierluigi Collina, who officiated some of the most important matches in modern sport.
Join Pierluigi in conversation with Varonis Field CTO, Matt Lock, for a World Cup‑themed leadership session on staying calm, decisive, and in control under pressure. Together, they’ll explore what security leaders can learn from elite referees about making the right call, earning trust, and leading teams through high‑stakes moments.
