I have always loved telling compelling stories in information security, and I'm thrilled to be doing so with the wonderful team at DomainTools. As the ''evangelist'' title suggests, my remit is to tell the security world about the many ways in which defenders are gaining the upper hand on various kinds of threats by leveraging predictive intelligence drawn from DNS and domain infrastructure data. On the side, I continue to work with Global Voice, an early stage startup driven by the recognition that, while students who didn't speak English as their first language are the fastest-growing segment of our school populations, they are not adequately supported in most learning environments. We strive to change that, through technology that provides engagement prompts, cultural awareness resources, and a wrap-around support structure for the full learning community. • Domain expertise: Product and program management of hardware, software, cloud, and SaaS solutions.
