Thomas Bethune

Thomas (Thom) Bethune is a Vice President at InfoPathways with more than 30 years of experience in information systems, cybersecurity, and technology leadership across highly regulated and complex environments, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, research, and construction. Thom’s career began at the University of North Texas, where early exposure to emerging networked systems shaped a lifelong focus on using technology to solve real business problems—not adopting technology for its own sake. After transitioning from field operations in heavy construction into enterprise technology leadership, he pioneered real-time data collection, operational analytics, and secure network architectures well before mobile computing and ubiquitous internet access became standard. At InfoPathways, Thom advises executive teams on cybersecurity risk, enterprise architecture, disaster recovery, wireless and RF networks, and operational resilience, with a focus on aligning security strategy to organizational readiness and compliance requirements. He is known for translating complex technical risk into language leaders can act on. In recent years, Thom has expanded his work into applied artificial intelligence, particularly where AI, cybersecurity, and regulated industries intersect. His recent work includes completing MIT Sloan’s Artificial Intelligence in Pharma and Biotech program, speaking on AI governance and implementation at BioBuzz’s Integrating AI Across the Biopharma Value Chain, and actively evaluating emerging AI platforms to help organizations adopt AI responsibly and securely.
