Britta is the CEO of a successful cybersecurity consulting firm, Adder Co., which has been inundated with new client requests in light of recent, highly publicized security breaches at major companies. Kartika is the Chief Data Officer of Portmantopia Co. and, coincidentally, Britta's former college roommate.
