Tim Schnurr's Linkedin Analytics

Leader who thrives at the intersection of cybersecurity and IP (intellectual property). I design and implement controls to protect proprietary data. I'm an empathetic leader who believes the best solutions emerge from understanding both technical complexities and human dynamics. I approach every challenge with curiosity and a data-driven mindset. My sweet spot? Uncovering risks and security gaps through in-depth stakeholder conversations and rigorous data analysis. I excel at de-risking client initiatives by educating both upstream and downstream teams on the "why" behind decisions, then addressing gaps with practical, measurable solutions. Whether developing open market licensing strategies or building insider risk platforms, I leverage agile methodologies to iterate quickly and deliver transparent tangible value. For me, data isn't just numbers—it's the compass that guides smart decisions. What drives me: Building and scaling technology that is sustainable (not just checks boxes) Translating "tech speak" into language that CEOs, boards, and community members understand Creating security programs that protect organizations without crushing innovation Mentoring teams and fostering cultures where people can do and 'own' their best work Current obsessions: Exposing the hidden danger of employee data theft to risk managment teams. Merging Insider Threat Hunters and CIs with Trade Secret Attorneys. Their interest align. Finding a data classification tool that will bring a step change to proprietary data tagging. Diving deep into AI applications and their security implications Dissecting crypto white papers (noble economics awards are sourced here now) Producing DataTheftNews I'm a generalist at heart—equally comfortable discussing UEBA baselines and playbooks, agile transformations, or delivering employee data sensitivity training. Always learning, always building, always looking for the next interesting challenge.
