About Jade

Prior to working for Tech Data as a cybersecurity consultant, I spent over 20 years in the IT industry in various sales, executive, and consulting roles. Most of my career has been working for national Value-Added Resellers as well as Global Service Providers focused on providing solutions for mid-size to Fortune 500 customers in IT Security, Networking, Data Storage, Unified Communications and Cloud Computing. Prior to these roles, I co-founded and built a successful software development company that was one of the early pioneers of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

I have been recommending IT security solutions to customers my whole career. I'm a firm believer that to develop a truly effective cybersecurity practice to aid end-user customers, it must be viewed as a discipline, rather than simply recommending bolt on point product security solutions.

I have an MBA from the University of Southern California and currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona.

Got it Covered? Think Again!

We can no longer afford to have the mindset: “we’ve got it covered.” If you can’t prove in court that you were prudent in cybersecurity for your organization, be ready to shell out some hard dollars, similar to Yahoo, to the tune of $29M, as the WSJ states, “the flood gates have now been opened.”
