I have had the pleasure of working and interacting with Grant over the course of two years and above and beyond him being a consummate professional, Grant has in the past two years cemented himself as a go to thought-leader in the industry. Grant takes a topic as big and oftentimes as daunting as cybersecurity and can impart tangible take-homes for industry peers, with a professional but also human approach. Grant delivers every time, in content, eloquent delivery, professionalism and is also extremely personable, it is always a pleasure working with him.
