Hey there, thanks for checking out my profile!For the TL;DR folks:Tech entrepreneur on a mission to help businesses reduce risk, improve security posture, and supercharge their efficiency with AI and automation. I also help build and scale exciting tech startups. If this sounds cool, let’s connect—I’m always open to new opportunities.The longer version:I’ve spent over 20 years in the tech industry, working with big global enterprises like KPMG, Capgemini, and SoftwareONE. In 2013, I escaped the corporate rat race and co-founded LayerV, a cloud services biz in the UK. We took it from a simple idea to a thriving business, and in 2017, we were acquired by Pulsant.That journey—from idea to exit—was a wild ride, and it’s one with lots of learnings that I’m passionate about sharing to help others navigate.Fast forward to today, I’m co-founder of CloudGuard AI, where we tackle complex cyber threats around the clock with AI and automation—making things very affordable for our SME sized customers. I also advise some really cool AI tech startups, guiding them through growth and preparing for successful exits.My personal ambition now is to help empower other tech entrepreneurs and share what I’ve learned in building, scaling and exiting tech businesses. Having been in (and still in) the startup trenches—from founding to scaling to exiting—I know the challenges and rewards firsthand.But enough about me..as a potential new follower or connection, let me share something very important;I believe and follow these 3 core values and principles:1. Growth - Continuous learning and embracing new perspectives of others to drive personal and professional growth.2. Clarity - To cut through the bullsh*t to provide clear, actionable insights and thought leadership that truly educates others.3. Relationships - Building strong relationships and fostering personal connections are essential to achieving success in business.Follow me if you resonate with these values, connect with me if you feel we could work together in some professional capacity or book a 1:1 call with me if you want to accelerate your own tech growth journey!Full disclosure: if you're selling me something 5 seconds into me clicking that 'Accept' button, you're getting blocked and avoided..reminder of above value number 3, let’s build a mutual connection and establish a relationship.Thanks for sticking around to read this. You’re awesome!Cheers,Jav
