Vice President of Sales

Once I turned 40 I realized I wasted a lot of time chasing titles and comp packages. 

The biggest thing holding me back was I'm not wired to be an employee.

I was fortunate in my 20s to have autonomy, managing the PNL of an eight figure business and turn it around after a disgruntled manager let things fall apart on his way out. 

I managed to lead a second turnaround after that in B2B closing 6-8 figure deals. 

But once Covid hit, I got laid off and leveraged LinkedIn to break into tech. They tried to pigeon hole me in mostly just sales roles or leadership with not much authority over meaningful budget. 

After a handful of companies ran into funding issues, I did end up at a publicly traded company just to quickly realize this was not the path for me.

I wasn't going to put the company before my family and realized I needed to make a big change. I had a friend in real estate doing extraordinarily well. I quit my secure job and I went to work for commission only to learn the business.

There's been a lot of ups and downs, and since then I've launched my own real estate business, briefly a cleaning company that I sold, and now partnered back with my mentor to launch a real estate community to help those learn the same.

I am no longer money focused as my priority is building a life around being present with my wife and kids and only doing work I enjoy. 

While I don't want to be broke. I realized my family would rather have me be present physically, mentally, and emotionally over having a larger house, more stuff and even more vacations. 

It's a new path I'm walking and still learning every day and hope to help others do the same. Fortunately I realized this with my daughters being 10 and 6. Hoping to inspire others to realize the same before it's too late.

I do work with those one on one from career transition, prioritizing family, or even launching their own business. 

Feel free to shoot me a dm if you think I can help.

Cybersecurity Sage | Speaker, Tech <-> Business Translator, Strategy, GTM, Product, Consulting & MSS

Well over 20 years in cybersecurity & IT. Most of that spent in consulting and managed security services (MSSP/MDR). I’ve worked or led most parts of that business from service delivery, product management, operations, technical sales / solutioning, channel, advisory, product marketing, innovation, GTM, and strategy. 

Enterprise/F500, Mid-market, small business, all industries.

There is a big picture and I help you see it. You’ll connect the dots from the aspects you’ve thought of to the one’s you haven’t considered yet. 

I speak multiple languages: the 1’s & 0’s of technology, the structure of compliance and regulations, the dreariness of contracts and PMO, the #’s finance is tracking, the pipeline sales is chasing, the pretty images marketing wants, the fancy words and hooks the SDR uses, the pain of clients and security leaders. Most importantly I can translate between all those entities. Translate into what the business needs and how to achieve it.

209 days to patch.
5 days to exploit.

The average time to patch critical vulnerabilities is 209 days, while attackers typically exploit them within 5 days. [Verizon DBIR 2025]

Surprised? I'm not.

🧙🏼‍♂️ Most vulnerability management programs are failing. They're drowning in scan data, "critical" threats, and hemorrhaging resources on low-priority fixes.

Your security teams are exhausted. Your infra team is frustrated. And Ops wants to launch 3 new untested 3rd party integrations tomorrow. 

Here's a strategic framework that builds effective vulnerability management programs 

Start with Governance
→Charter your program with clear scope
→Build a cross-functional steering group
→Define risk-based SLAs (not just CVSS)

Implement Smart Prioritization
→Asset criticality + Exploitability + Threat Context
→Use CISA KEV and EPSS scores
→Factor in business impact

Automate the Boring Stuff
→Centralize findings from all sources
→Auto-enrich with threat intel
→Integration-driven remediation workflows

AI’s real danger isn’t power.
It’s the lack of guardrails.

Everyone's talking about the dream:
→ 40% productivity gains
→ Automated everything
→ Innovation at light speed
→ Competitive advantage overnight
→ Cost savings in every department
→ Seamless integration everywhere

The reality nobody mentions:

→ Models trained on your sensitive data
→ Compliance frameworks built for 2005
→ Third-party AI tools with black box algorithms
→ Data residency requirements getting violated daily
→ Risk assessments that don't cover machine learning
→ Audit trails that end at "AI processed this"
→ Vendors who can't explain how their models work

The companies rushing fastest to deploy?
They're creating tomorrow's headlines.

Your AI strategy isn't just about capability.
It's about liability.

Every prompt is a potential compliance violation.
Every model is a new attack surface.
Every integration is an audit waiting to happen.

🧙🏼‍♂️AI the right way:
1. Understand business use
2. Define uses and goverance around them
3. Build & update policy
4. Train on policy and AI use
5. GOVERNANACE!

Every vendor increases your chance of a breach.
Most teams write it off as noise.

Don't ignore your biggest threat...

All of them!... partners, vendors, supply chain, whatever you call them, all create risk for your business. 

From your cloud provider to your office cleaning service.
They all have some level of impact to your company.

🧠Third party risk management (TPRM) helps you reduce that risk.

❌ But it's not a one size fits all situation. 
✅ You have to "do it right."

Here's where many programs fail:
→ No clear intake process
→ Living in spreadsheet hell
→ Treating all vendors the same (wasting resources)
→ Missing the creep of "safe" vendors becoming risky ones

Sound familiar? You're not alone. 
61% of organizations experienced a third-party data breach or security incident last year (Prevalent)

❌ Stop using a chainsaw to cut the cake...

Tiering your TPRM reduces the effort on you and the risk.

Here's your 4-step playbook to build a tiered TPRM that wins:

1. Inventory: Build your single source of truth
→ Centralize vendor data
→ Map owners and functions
→ Track renewal dates

2. Classify: Create risk-based tiers
→ Data access levels
→ Operational impact
→ System integration depth

3. Align Controls: Match effort to risk
→ Full review for critical vendors
→ Lightweight for moderate risk
→ Basic intake for low impact

4. Automate: Scale with confidence
→ Set tier-based monitoring
→ Alert on scope changes
→ Track remediation progress

It's fairly simple and will have a big impact.

I'm not new to Linkedin but I may be "new to you." I've been on here "forever" but didn't realize till ~2020 how important it was, and how important it is to build, nurture & engage with your network. 

So I made an effort since then to give as much as I can, help as much as I can for myself and others...

💬Say Hi in the comments, tell a funny story about how we met or whatever⤵️

Appreciate you.

Your tech stack isn’t broken.
Your problem-solving is.

I've advised firms for over 20 years 

I've lost count of the number of times the first meeting goes:
"Wil, we have <problem> what tool should we buy to fix it?"

Here's the painful truth:
Most tech solutions solve symptoms, not root causes.

You buy the project management tool, but deadlines still slip.
You implement the collaboration platform, but miscommunication continues.
You upgrade the system, but the bottleneck just moves somewhere else.

Why?

Because you never understood the actual problem.

Most tech professionals jump straight to solutions:
→ What tool can I buy?
→ What software will fix this?
→ Which vendor should I call?

But here's what separates the techy doers from the biz leaders:

The best spend time understanding the problem, not racing to the solution.

Here's a simple framework for your next problem:

1️⃣What’s the real problem, not the symptom?
Is it a workflow? A bottleneck? A people issue? A process gap?
If you can’t name it, you can’t fix it.

2️⃣What business outcome is at risk? Who does this impact
Not "the system is slow"...but "clients are abandoning checkout."
Revenue, efficiency, customer experience, risk, trust...
Problems must tie to real business consequences.

3️⃣What process(es) actually broke down?
Not "we need better communication"... but "product and sales aren't aligned on timelines."

4️⃣What is the cost of doing nothing?
Not "IT is frustrated"... but " we can't close deals without this data." 
If you can’t quantify the pain, you’ll never justify the fix.

This isn't just better problem solving.
This is how you build trust, get promoted, and become a better leader.

When you understand the business impact, executives listen.
When you frame solutions around business outcomes, budgets get approved.
When you think like a business leader, you become one.

Tech is the tool.
Clarity is the strategy.

Spend more time understanding the problem, and you’ll need far fewer tools to solve it.

💬What's a tragic tech solution that didn't solve anything? ⤵️

Your biggest business risk
Is the piece you haven’t noticed.

I've built many a cybersecurity risk program in my time
I've helped even more cyber & tech leaders do the same

It's never perfect...

You'll always miss something, but the trick is make sure the most critical programs and processes are in place. 

🧙🏼‍♂️Maximize your spend, minimize your risk, here's what you need to complete the puzzle: 

✅ Risk Management Program
↳ Understand what risks actually matter
↳ Keeps you focused on business impact, not noise

✅ GRC Program
↳ Policies, standards, compliance, accountability
↳ Gives structure to how decisions get made

✅ Vulnerability Management Program
↳ Identify, prioritize, validate, and remediate
↳ Reduces the biggest, easiest-to-exploit weaknesses

✅ Security Operations
↳ Ties everything together from alerts to compliance
↳ Everyone has the same information, decisions and reactions are faster

✅ Security Monitoring & Response
↳ Eyes-on-glass visibility across endpoints, network, cloud
↳ You can't respond to what you can’t see

✅ Incident Response Planning
↳ Clear roles, communication paths, playbooks
↳ Preparation makes action faster and less chaotic

✅ Disaster Recovery
↳ Systems, data, and operations recovery plans
↳ Ensures the business survives impact, not just detects it

✅ Data Protection Program
↳ Classify, control, log, encrypt
↳ Keeps your most critical asset from leaking or being misused

✅ Third Party Risk Management
↳ Evaluate vendor security, data access, and practices
↳ Your partners are part of your attack surface

✅ Identity & Access Management
↳ Govern access, enforce least privilege, monitor misuse
↳ Prevents compromised accounts from becoming full breaches

✅ Zero Trust Strategy
↳ Verify everything, trust nothing, segment all
↳ Limits blast radius when (not if) something gets in

✅ Business Impact Analysis
↳ Identify critical systems, processes, and dependencies
↳ You have to know what you have to protect & prioritize  

✅ Security Infrastructure & Architecture
↳ The tech that protects & detects
↳ Creates your walls, guardians and reporting

✅ Data Privacy Program
↳ Manage personal data, retention, and legal requirements
↳ Protects the company from fines, lawsuits, and trust loss

✅ End User Training
↳ Teach people how to avoid threats and risky behavior
↳ Human mistakes still cause most breaches

✅ AppSec / DevSecOps
↳ Secure coding, pipeline scanning, dependency safety
↳ Stops attackers from exploiting your own software supply chain

You need to address risk across the entirety of your business, not just one aspect
Be sure to look at each of these, know your gaps and work to address them

If your content doesn’t teach,
your pipeline will starve.

🧙🏼‍♂️Your GTM dies the moment you try to sell before you educate.

Most lead with features.
"We have this amazing technology..."
"Our platform does X, Y, and Z..."
"Let me show you our stuff..."

Wrong move.

Here's what happens when you pitch before you teach:
→ Prospects tune out (no one cares about your tech specs)
→ You're just another vendor pitching
→ Sales cycles drag on forever
→ You're chasing leads instead of creating demand
→ You fight for every conversion
→ Zero thought leadership position

The shift that changes everything:

🧠Make people smarter before asking them to buy.

✅ Education creates demand
✅ Teaching builds trust and authority
✅ Conversion becomes natural, not forced
✅ Lead with outcomes, not features
✅ Smart buyers = faster sales cycles

Your prospects don't need another pitch.
They need to understand their problem better.

When you don't educate
→ Buyers think surface-level: "I need a pentest"
When you make smarter buyers
→ Buyers know: "I need a vulnerability program"

Start here: Take your next bit of content and rewrite it.
Remove every "we have" and "our product."
Replace with "here's what's happening in your industry" and "here's what you should know."

Watch your response rates change.

AI didn’t break compliance.
People did.

Everyone’s racing to plug AI into their workflows, their tools, their processes.
But few are asking the question that actually matters:

“Is this putting our compliance at risk?”

🧙🏼‍♂️ Most of the compliance failures I see today aren’t caused by the AI itself…
They’re caused by humans deploying it with zero guardrails.

🧠 The danger isn’t innovation.
😈 It’s ungoverned innovation.

That’s why I’m joining a panel discussion on AI Innovation & Compliance: Can You Have Both? hosted by Appalachia Technologies, LLC alongside experts Mike Miller Yoel Alvarez James Armour Chris Swecker and our amazing moderator Ashley Louden

We’ll break down:
→ Where AI creates hidden compliance gaps
→ Why PCI & CMMC are more fragile than leaders think
→ The risks of third-party AI tools most teams overlook
→ How to keep data handling clean, controlled, and defensible
→ Practical guardrails you can implement today

🧙🏼‍♂️ If you’re using AI, planning to, or worried your team already is…
You need this conversation.

Don’t let AI become a compliance liability.

AI is powering your operations
And silently expanding your attack surface

I sat down with Rock Lambros, CEO of RockCyber on this episode of The Keyboard Samurai Podcast to talk about the part of AI security no one is ready for:

→ Shadow AI expanding your attack surface
→ Agentic systems making decisions you can’t trace
→ Cascading hallucinations breaking your workflows
→ Tool poisoning and model drift hiding in plain sight
→ Governance frameworks that actually keep you safe

If you're a leader or anyone deploying AI across the business, this conversation will change how you think about risk, governance, and value.

Rock also breaks down what OWASP is building for AI and how leaders should evaluate AI vendors before they buy anything.

If AI is on your roadmap in 2025, listen to this one.
