Start small, work up. Find a large firm in an industry that you seek to go into as a CSO and make this your target. Large is good as there are more opportunities when starting. Being a consultant can come later and when you have a small repuation that you can built on. Look for a place that will stand out on your resume. Though I am Australian, I completed work for Mahindra and Mahindra a number of years back. Firms such as themself have a large number of users, a large IT department and opportunity for rapid advancement. They also took their systems seriously - which is refreshing. In their case the board set policy and security was reported at board level. Look at what ytou want and where and target it.
