Brad Micklea is a seasoned technology founder and CEO who builds practical, enterprise-grade security for AI supply chains and runtime, currently leading Jozu to package scan results, prompt guardrails, policies, and approvals as cryptographically verified OCI artifacts enforceable even in air-gapped environments. He co-created KitOps, the CNCF’s most widely adopted AI packaging standard and a proven implementation of the ModelPack spec, bringing open-source rigor to AI-SBOM and deployable agent packaging. Previously he scaled Red Hat’s developer tools to millions of users, ran AWS API Gateway as a GM driving nine-figure revenue growth, and helped take Codenvy from startup to Red Hat acquisition. Known for combining product-led growth with deep operational security, he designs sandboxed runtimes that enforce policies at boundary and kernel levels—an uncommon focus that bridges cloud-native tooling and high-assurance deployments. Based in Toronto, he pairs an eclectic BA in Literature from McGill with 11 years of executive engineering leadership and a track record of shipping widely adopted open-source standards.
