Who AM I?

I have 25 years of experience running global networks and managing infrastructure. I am an industry pioneer in software defined networking (SDN) and software defined WANs (SD-WAN). I've also has spoken on the topic network transformation at industry conferences such as Gartner, InterOp, VMWorld, Palo Alto Networks Ignite as well as executive roundtable discussions. I've been a customer advisor to companies such as VMware, Palo Alto Networks and Cisco Systems. Disruptive startups like Cloudgenix (now Palo Alto Prisma Access), Axis Security (now HPE/Aruba Networking SSE) and Arkin (now VMware Realize Network Insight) have also leveraged my knowledge to bring products to market resulting in successful exits. I currently host a podcast called "No Trust" on the topics of cybersecurity, the role of the CISO, SASE, SSE and Zero Trust, the strategy (not the product - that is bad, very bad).. When not helping companies on their journey to modernize and secure their networks, you can find me cycling on the backroads of Oregon.
