Summary
BJ Swope is a security-focused technology leader with 11+ years in pre-sales engineering and targeted red teaming, now directing the Targeting team at Randori (an IBM company). He blends deep hands-on technical expertise—from command-line troubleshooting and FreeBSD performance tuning to endpoint and network security—with a proven track record of scaling teams and go-to-market motions at fast-growing startups. BJ has repeatedly driven technical wins and quota overachievement across roles at Carbon Black, JASK, and others, and he excels at translating complex security telemetry into actionable assessments for customers and attackers alike. Comfortable briefing executives or presenting to large audiences, he also builds tooling and automation (historically crafting custom ISOs and Python integration tools) to simplify evaluations and threat modeling. Based in Lilburn, Georgia, BJ brings a practical, operator-first mindset to leadership: he leads by enabling his team to discover, validate, and operationalize high-value targets that reveal real attack surface risk.
