Rom Hendler
Rom Hendler is the CEO and co-founder of Trustifi, an AI-driven email security platform that wraps encryption, data loss prevention, and security awareness training into one product built for managed service providers and mid-sized businesses. He took an unlikely path to cybersecurity, spending more than a decade as a marketing and operations executive in the casino and hospitality world (CMO at Las Vegas Sands, leadership roles at The Venetian and The Palazzo) before building a travel-tech startup and then turning his attention to the most-attacked surface in the enterprise: the inbox. Under his leadership Trustifi raised a $25M Series A in June 2025 led by Camber Partners and Hendler has been named a CRN Channel Chief four years running.
