He’s spoken on the topic network transformation at industry conferences such as Gartner, InterOp, VMWorld, Palo Alto Networks Ignite as well as executive roundtable discussions. John’s been a customer advisor to companies such as VMware, Palo Alto Networks and Cisco Systems. Disruptive startups like Cloudgenix (now Palo Alto Prisma Access), Axis Security (now HPE/Aruba Networking SSE) and Arkin (now VMware Realize Network Insight) have also leveraged my knowledge to bring products to market resulting in successful exits. He is the co-host a podcast called "The Edge" (now the “No Trust” podcast) on the topics of cybersecurity, the role of the CISO, SASE, SSE and Zero Trust, the strategy (not the product - that is bad, very bad)..
