Top SchoolAaron Wilson is a seasoned technology and security executive with over a decade (and roots stretching back to the late 1990s) of experience architecting secure, compliant cloud transformations for enterprises, startups, and private-equity portfolios. As co-founder and former CTO of ScaleSec—grown to acquisition by RKON—he built repeatable, code-first frameworks that translated FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 requirements into scalable product and service offerings. Now CTO at RKON, he focuses on secure-by-design modernization, M&A technical due diligence, and aligning cloud architecture with measurable business value. His background spans hands-on cloud security work at AWS and strategic security architecture roles at HP and SAIC, giving him fluency across technical execution, operations, and go-to-market. He champions automation and compliance as a common language that reduces operating costs and risk while accelerating innovation. Based in San Diego, he pairs a physics and systems education with an uncommon mix of product-minded pragmatism and enterprise security rigor.
