With a background forged in rapid business scaling and strategic sales leadership, Clayton brings a rare and valuable perspective to the world of cybersecurity. As Chief Operating Officer of a high-growth company, he led the implementation of critical software systems and business automations that fueled a tenfold increase in project volume—scaling from just 35 to nearly 400 projects annually.
As businesses scale, they often expose themselves to greater digital risk—expanding their attack surface, increasing compliance complexity, and becoming more attractive targets for cybercriminals. Motivated by the urgent need for smarter, more integrated solutions, Clayton transitioned into cybersecurity with a clear mission: to help businesses grow confidently, securely, and sustainably in an increasingly connected world. Combining his expertise in entrepreneurship, operations, and sales strategy, he now empowers organizations to not only protect what they've built—but to scale it safely and intelligently for the future.
