# Shauli Rozen

> Shauli Rozen is an engineer turned operator and the CEO and co-founder of ARMO, the company that created Kubescape. His career moved from communication-systems engineering and compression software through Wharton, consulting, product strategy and startup leadership before arriving at a deceptively practical thesis: cloud security tools work better when developers can try them, understand them and help shape them. Kubescape's open-source launch gave that thesis a community, and its later elevation to CNCF Incubation marked a durable institutional milestone.
