We have collaborated on countless webinars over the years and in 2020 we developed a new CISO-focused original series together which has been extremely popular on BrightTALK. I have relied on Dan to deliver insightful and educational content on security topics in our summits and in-person panels, and he has exceeded my expectations every single time. Dan’s cybersecurity expertise and knowledge – that span both government and industry – have been invaluable to BrightTALK audiences. Dan is also genuinely nice and a joy to work with. I’ve learned so much from him.”

Dan was generous with his time and made the planning effortless. His presentation, Smart Cities, IoT, and Security drew a large crowd, he had a wonderful knack for making complex subject matter relatable and easy to understand, and he engaged effectively with the audience, which was apparent by the quality of the Q/A session. I would highly recommend Dan!”
