After five years at the helm of MOSTLY AI, I'm exploring what comes next — ideally a role where I can leverage both my AI and security experience to build something meaningful.

CTO + CISO Combined

Many fast-growing companies benefit from combining both functions early. I've done exactly this at MOSTLY AI — it's a powerful model for lean but high-maturity organizations.
