During my 3.5 years there, I built a nationally-recognized, state-wide small business cybersecurity program, helped businesses access over $4.8 million in capital through SBIR, VC, or Angel funding mechanisms, and helped the organization secure over $750,000 in grant funding and private sponsorship.
