SIS Holdings Group Names William Rhodes Chief Digital Officer and Chief Information Security Officer

HOUSTON - Amzeal -- SIS Holdings Group, LLC, an executive advisory firm specializing in IT strategy, cybersecurity, and fractional CIO/CISO leadership for private equity–backed energy and enterprise organizations, today named William Rhodes to the newly combined role of Chief Digital Officer (CDO) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Effective immediately, Rhodes will lead the firm's digital transformation initiatives and its enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy.
The combined mandate reflects how inseparable modernization and security have become for critical-infrastructure operators modernizing SCADA systems, moving to the cloud, and converging IT and operational technology (OT) amid rising ransomware and tightening NERC CIP requirements. Rhodes will shape the firm's technology vision while strengthening the cybersecurity posture of SIS Holdings and the clients it advises — spanning transformation strategy, security operations, risk management, and compliance.
