Technical member of a cross-functional product management/product marketing team collaboratively translating technology into products offering the right customer relevant benefits.☑ Technical Marketing Engineering (Geek-Speak Translated into Solutions & Benefits Focused)☑ Technical Product Management (Problem Space/Persona/Product Planning Focused)☑ Product Marketing Management (DMU/Go-to-Market/Product Launch Focused)The loom of the quantum computing threat hovers deceptively distant (See Neven's Law) . Together with our partners, QuintessenceLabs protects encryption keys and data (at rest, in motion, or while in use) on premises or in the cloud, today and in a post-quantum world. Considering the amount of time it takes for organizations to migrate from legacy to quantum-resistant systems cryptographically agile and capable of protecting sensitive data from the threat of "harvest-now-decrypt-later" make it an imperative that organizations begin planning data protection initiatives for a post-quantum world now. Consider Mosca’s Theorem:If X = How long encrypted data needs to be secureIf Y = How long it will take your organization to re-tool existing data protection to be quantum resistantIf Z = How long until large-scale quantum computers become availableIf (X + Y) > Z, you should worry.If Neven's Law & Mosca’s Theorem isn’t enough for you, what about all the public keys stored in clear text freely shared on the BTC blockchain? With digital assets, all you own is a private key that's mathematically related to a public key, and that's if you don't keep your crypto on an exchange and you securely hold your own private keys (NYKNYC - Not Your Keys, Not Your Crypto). If someone has access to enough quantum computing power to break Elliptic-Curve-Cryptography (ECC) – all your bitcoin no longer belongs to you - because you thought you had more time. Qubits will be your friend or your worst nightmare. Proaction or reaction will determine which.

Technical Program Manager | Professional ServicesShape was a Kleiner Perkins, Norwest, and Google Ventures funded start-up that successfully launched a completely new approach to web security, making web sites expensive to attack and inexpensive to protect. Laid Shape’s foundational groundwork to create a deployment planning process and program management framework for multiple customer deployments from essentially nothing. Partnered and collaborated with executive and professional services team members to define and continuously refine how Shape ensures that newly acquired customers’ ShapeShifter Botwall data center deployments are successful. The program management framework I put in place is cloud-based, scaled concurrent active customer deployments by 700+%, and provided the executive team with near real-time visibility into the status of each PoC and deployment. With a rapidly growing list of customers, the foundation laid, and a scalable program management framework in place, the strategic aspects of my role continued to diminish while the administrative aspects continued to snowball. In order to continue career growth, the reality of then current and projected company size and maturity required that I explore additional opportunities.
