About Matt van Waes
I have extensive experience leading teams focused on protecting sensitive data and securing critical systems across diverse sectors. In these roles, I have directed complex investigations and operations aimed at identifying and mitigating security risks, addressing both internal misconduct and external threats, and ensuring the integrity and safety of platforms and operations.Previously, I spent 20 years with the U.S. federal government, including 10 years with the Department of Defense and 5 years of active duty in the Marine Corps. My work focused on cybersecurity, national security, and risk mitigation, with deployments to active war zones. I also volunteer with veteran’s initiatives in my spare time.
