David Lehrer
David Lehrer is the founder and CEO of Conatix and its flagship product Cysana, an AI cybersecurity venture that turns executable files into pictures so neural networks can spot malware before it ever runs. A Harvard-trained policy researcher turned deep-tech operator, he built the company across Virginia, New York, Montreal, London and Berlin, in partnership with the University of Luxembourg's SnT research center. His unusual path runs from criminology at Oxford and economics at the Bank of Finland to a patented anti-ransomware engine trained on a European supercomputer.
Kunal Agarwal
Kunal Agarwal is the founder and CEO of dope.security, the 'Fly Direct' Secure Web Gateway that runs security on the endpoint instead of routing all traffic through a distant cloud data center. A self-described hacker since age 8 who once talked his way out of juvenile detention after breaking into his high school's grading system, he spent roughly a decade at Symantec and Forcepoint - rising from engineer to running Symantec's IoT business and leading product at Forcepoint - before launching dope.security in 2022. The company raised a $16M Series A led by GV (Google Ventures), and Agarwal was named SC Awards 2025 Innovator of the Year.
Tom Molden
Tom Molden is CIO of Global Executive Engagement at NinjaOne, a role that puts a 30-year IT practitioner in the room with the buyers he used to be. He learned automation in the car rental business, spent 14 years moving through the semiconductor industry across the US and Europe, then ran planning for a multi-billion-dollar IT transformation at General Motors before becoming Chief of Staff to GM's global CISO. Fluent in English and German, he trades in the language of boards: revenue, margin, and risk.
Joe Morin
Joe Morin is the Founder and CEO of CyFlare, a top-ranked managed security operations company he built from the ground up in 2017. With over 20 years in cybersecurity, Morin spent years in sales engineering and alliance roles at companies like Zscaler, Forcepoint, and Barracuda Networks before channeling that cross-vendor perspective into CyFlare's signature philosophy: don't pick one platform, wire them all together. Under his leadership, CyFlare achieved 854% growth over three years, landed on the Inc. 5000 list twice, ranked #5 on CRN's 2025 Fast Growth 150, and is consistently recognized as a Top 20 Global MSSP. His LinkedIn handle - cyberbatman - says a lot about the man.
Lars Pedersen
Lars Sneftrup Pedersen is the founder and CEO of Admin By Request, a cloud-based Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform headquartered in Aalborg, Denmark with U.S. operations in San Francisco. He built Admin By Request from the ground up starting in 2017, scaling it 900% over five years to serve enterprise clients including McLaren, the Red Cross, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Disney. A serial entrepreneur and software veteran with roots at Telenor Denmark and FastTrack Software, Lars has become one of Denmark's leading figures in endpoint security, earning the 2024 Regional Owner-Manager of the Year award for Digital Transformation in Northern Jutland. He is also a tech investor in Intellis and an unlikely sponsor of Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen.
Gagan Singh
Gagan Singh is the Chief Executive Officer of Blackpoint Cyber, a Denver-based managed detection and response (MDR) company protecting small and mid-sized businesses through a channel-first MSP model. With 20+ years leading product and operations at McAfee, NortonLifeLock, and Avast, Singh joined Blackpoint in June 2025 with a clear thesis: small businesses are the most underserved, most targeted segment in cybersecurity, and the MSPs serving them are the true front line. Under his leadership, Blackpoint has launched CompassOne, a unified security posture platform, and continues expanding internationally while building on a claim that no partner or their customers has suffered a ransomware incident under Blackpoint's watch.
