Advisory Board Member
Delta Risk (https : //deltarisk.com) was acquired by Motorola Solutions, Inc. in 2020.
During my 4+ years with the company we pivoted from a consulting company focused primarily on the federal market to a managed security services provider (MSSP) offering network, endpoint and cloud security for SMBs and enterprise companies. We also developed and marketed a proprietary SaaS platform, ActiveEye, which powered our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. Post-acquisition, ActiveEye is now the platform that powers Motorola Solutions' MDR services.
In my role as VP Marketing, I drove awareness, credibility, and revenue through a wide range of programs, including events, webinars, search engine optimization (SEO), social media, email campaigns, and paid demand generation programs. Delta Risk was an AWS Advanced Partner and was named a Top 50 MSSP by MSSP Alert and a Top 10 MSSP by Enterprise Security magazine multiple years, along with other awards and recognition.
