About Spencer Heath

Senior technology and business leader with over 5 years of experience supporting enterprise-scale cyber defense operations for the United States Air Force and US Space Force, while playing a central role in building and running a rapidly growing managed service provider.In my Air Force role, I focus on defending mission-critical infrastructure through threat hunting and detection engineering using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Sentinel. I design custom detection rules and Sentinel workbooks, identify and remediate Active Directory security misconfigurations, and lead automation, vulnerability remediation, and system hardening efforts aligned with DoD and NIST frameworks.Within the MSP, I operate at an executive level across technology, operations, and business execution. I oversee IT engineering and security, automation, client delivery, marketing initiatives, billing processes, service design, and the development of new products and offerings. I translate technical capabilities into scalable services, sustainable revenue, and repeatable internal processes.As an early hire, I’ve owned initiatives end-to-end, helped define how the organization operates, mentored staff, and acted as the primary escalation point for both technical and operational decisions. My focus is on building resilient systems and businesses that scale efficiently, remain secure, and deliver consistent value.I’m driven by ownership, accountability, and building organizations where technology, security, and operations work together to support long-term growth.
