About Michael Murphy
Since my early days delivering newspapers and helping my sister sell Girl Scout cookies, I\'ve always enjoyed engaging with people and sharing experiences. Competing as an athlete inspired a passion for winning and a deep understanding of the commitment required to achieve success. Despite knee surgeries and broken bones, that same passion now fuels my professional career. My detective\'s curiosity has enabled me to learn/research, and has also helped in my hobby as a genealogist. Faith and family convince me that there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome together.As a technologist, I enjoy the privilege to deliver solutions to solve my customer\'s challenges and help them to succeed in their own career. I love to tinker and take things apart to understand them better.As a Cybersecurity professional I have conducted hundreds of security risk assessments to uncover and mitigate risk within Global and government clients.At industry leaders IBM and Symantec, I have implemented Enterprise Management and Security solutions, but have mostly specialized in taking technology startups to the next stage (10/12 acquired so far).A public speaker with international success selling in 40+ countries.
