YOU -- pending. One conversation away.SUBJECT STATEMENT:
"I've been in IT and security since 1988, when a company's whole data footprint fit on a single 8-inch floppy. I build it, or I come in and clean it up when it goes sideways. I'm a "no bullshit" kind of guy — I've never told a board what it wanted to hear when it wasn't true. You don't come to me because everything's fine."
SUSPECTED OF:
Under contract to the CDC's Center for Global Health, running incident response across 75+ countries during the Ebola crisis.
At Activision Blizzard, owning security architecture across all 35 studios through the company's $69B acquisition by Microsoft.
At EarthLink, writing their spam feedback loop years before the industry made the idea standard, and helping bring down the "Spam King" and the "Buffalo Spammer."
At U.S. Bank, protecting $4B in card transactions in a single afternoon at Churchill Downs.
At Internet Security Systems, now IBM, running threat-signature delivery for RealSecure, one of the first intrusion detection systems ever shipped.
And before any of it: at Georgia Tech, standing up the first student-run web server in 1994.
