SMB/MM Sales Development Rep

Duo Security

Hired at Duo during the acquisition by Cisco.

Sales Development Representative (Acquired by Cisco for $2.35B)

For over 6 years, I've been involved in the infosec community helping engineers solve challenges in identity access management, threat hunting, attack surface discovery, compliance and supply chain security. 

Trust between sellers and engineers is broken and needs to be restored. 

I've been focused on this restoration since the early days at my first security startup. 

I've spoken with hundreds of security pros and business leaders and helped them solve challenge after challenge in their security stack. 

From stealth mode startups to Fortune 10 organizations, I've worked with them all. 

My passion isn't to just close deals. It’s to help connect engineers and leaders with tools that make their lives easier, make them look good, and protect their teams and assets. 

I'm obsessed with earning and keeping this trust.

When I'm not working I:
🏌🏼‍♂️  Play golf
🥾  Hike with my wife
📚  Read (at least 10 pages a day)
🎥  Watch movies (400+ reviewed on IMDB)
