“Paul’s longtime retailer experience paired with his cybersecurity expertise will take Casey’s security strategy to the next level,” said Butler. “I am pleased to have him join the information technology leadership team at Casey’s as we evolve our organizational structure and support Casey’s strategic plan.”

With 35 years of experience in cybersecurity, network operations and telecommunications, Suarez will provide strategic leadership and direction for Casey’s information security function. He most recently served as the CISO of Walmart International in Bentonville, Arkansas.

“I’m honored to be joining such a guest-focused company which is all about doing good in the communities we serve and can’t wait to help Casey’s on their digital journey while protecting those very same guests,” he said.

Suarez holds a master’s degree in strategic studies from Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, and a master’s degree in aeronautical science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
