Head of the BITS Program for Startups. Builder. Entrepreneur. Mostly harmless.
I am a product strategy and business development professional, an entrepreneur at heart, and a passionate builder. I have co-founded two companies: Fireblade, where in 2008, my partner and I built the first-ever bot management solution and later a behavioral WAF (acquired by StackPath and subsequently by Gcore Labs). We invented and designed the core concepts that have become the foundation for every modern bot solution and WAF today, such as device and IP reputation, a centralistic machine-learning component and so on. In 1996, I founded SmartMove, a CMS technology and services company that has remained active for nearly three decades. I recall being a journalist, lecturer and a criminal lawyer in a past life. In present life I seem to run the BITS startup accelerator by Ness.Cloud in partnership with Microsoft. I thrive on high-risk, innovative projects, especially those with a meaningful impact on users and society. I enjoy working in multicultural environments and excel in uncharted territories.
