Clutch45 is a cybersecurity advisory consultancy and incubator. The name is derived from clutch (noun): a collection of eggs at incubation, for which some species may lay up to 45 or more at a time.

Responsible for leading strategic micro-adjustments to an already category king (offensive security) cybersecurity business with the intent to grow higher customer retention through innovative and market disrupting continuous and proactive security testing subscription offerings, best-in-class partnerships, and simpler go-to-market motions, all while transforming an exclusively professional services business to a mix of product and service subscriptions (ARR).

Providing the perspective of corporate red teams and their needs to a security startup focused on delivering better red and purple team solutions to government and private sector organizations.

Joined Cyderes when it was the managed security startup venture under the Fishtech Group, leading all of Engineering of our flagship platform on greenfield, cloud-native tech stacks with full CI/CD automation and scaling via Kubernetes + Serverless, becoming Google Cloud Security's premier partner and defining our product roadmap strategy during a period of more than 200% growth YoY. Led the technical differentiation for Fishtech's successful acquisition by the private equity firm, Apax Partners, which led to the merger with the Herjavec Group, another Apax portfolio company. In a little over a year following the merger, our combined customer count tripled as I led the integration of two managed security services organizations to 100M ARR. Delivered managed SOC, SIEM, Endpoint & Network Security at scale, with industry leading in-house developed technology around our big data pipeline and SOC automation. Architected sales enablement and contract templating to maximize customer satisfaction. During my tenure I also led our Red Team service delivery (which moved to our Professional Services organization post-merger), our Customer Success function, and internal IT/CISO function.

Joined Fishtech Group as the CTO of the Managed Services early stage startup, Cyderes, which drove majority value in a private equity acquisition by Apax Partners. I then led the merger with the Herjavec Group, with the Cyderes brand persisting as the new brand for the combined company.

We created an innovative Rules of Engagement which enabled constant, multi-threaded adversarial pressure at Walmart scale to prepare the business to respond to real adversaries, while balancing the needs of our Blue Team peers. Partnering with our Quantitative Risk teams, we used the FAIR methodology to measure the loss magnitudes of our exercises like real incidents, to present the message in the language of the business.Additionally, the Red Team operated as a tech startup, streaming out adversarial capabilities using agile software engineering: - full CI/CD pipelines for our adversarial toolkit- custom, unit-tested stagers and implants to complement commonly available tooling (C++, C#, GoLang, Python)- safety checks, sandbox evasions, and canaries- custom hardware backdoors with 4G/LTE egress- smart centralized multiplayer backend (.NET, Redis, and open source)- custom phishing engines that matched our scale- spun up private collaboration tools & credential vaults- logged to our own ELK stacks- automated the creation of OPSEC-safe, ephemeral redirectors across a variety of providers in multiple countries- burned through hundreds of DNS domains per year with a curated, aging inventory- created our own Capability Maturity Models to measure our program over time and drive our investmentCo-founded Sp4rkCon, Walmart's free annual public information security conference.IN RUBRUM VERITAS
