About Karsten Chearis
Fun fact about me: my name means \"chosen\". The etymology of my name reminds me that I am capable of great success and empowers me to show others how they can do the same.With an extensive track record of over 15 years, my expertise spans a spectrum of leadership encompassing PreSales, cybersecurity, IT, and program management. I have had the unique opportunity of working in a team of engineers, leading groups of engineers, and selling to departments of engineers.My current role is an exciting one. I lead the Commercial US Solutions Architecture and the EMEA Solutions Architecture org at Expel. We\'re on a mission to empower organizations to do their best work by providing best-in-class, redefined MDR expertise. Also, we\'re hiring!I previously held the esteemed role of Ambassador within PreSales Collective, a distinguished community dedicated to enlightening and amplifying the stature of the PreSales vocation. I have created content for PreSales aspirants, professionals, and leaders, enabling them to create impact in their teams and communities.I have a passion for promoting and elevating diversity, equity, and inclusion in the cybersecurity and PreSales communities. I firmly believe that it is nigh impossible to have defense in depth if an organization lacks diversity in representation, and a focused effort of DEI makes the world a more secure place.
