I bring experience spanning DevOps, CyberSecurity, and Cloud Management to help technology companies accelerate their growth. I\'m currently helping start ups establish their marketing programs as a fractional resource while teaching cybersecurity part-time as an adjunct instructor at Texas A&M\'s Engineering Extension Service.As Marketing VP at Firefly, a seed-funded start-up that simplifies multi-cloud management, my efforts contributed to Firefly\'s exponential revenue growth in just 18 months. As Director of Product Marketing at GitLab, a leader in the DevOps market, my leadership was instrumental in growing GitLab’s enterprise business more than 10x over 4 years and through IPO. Previous experience includes building a security portfolio for Solarwinds MSPs to resell, and solutions marketing at HP Enterprise across Fortify app sec, network security, and SIEM.My O\'Reilly book,\"10 steps to secure next generation software\" helps security professionals understand how software development is changing and the impact upon application security programs.
