Chris P is a senior security software engineering leader with over a decade of experience building high-impact DevSecOps and product security programs across startups, enterprise and critical-infrastructure environments. He has led security transformation at companies like Ticketmaster, PagerDuty, Delphix and Zuora, delivering measurable outcomes such as halving critical/high product vulnerabilities and launching AI-driven product features with secure SDLC practices. Known for a "security is a team sport" ethos, he excels at turning security from a gate into a developer-centric partner through tooling, metrics, and clear communication. His background spans cloud and private PaaS architecture, incident response, and practical Zero Trust product designs that earned industry visibility (including an AWS re:Invent invitation). Chris combines hands-on technical initiative—introducing SAST/SCA/DAST, secrets detection, and modern guardrails—with strategic risk and compliance leadership (FedRAMP, PSIRT/Major CSIRT). Based in Greater Prescott, AZ, he pairs pragmatic engineering instincts with an ability to influence both technical and business stakeholders.
