Summary
Geoff Horne is a retired technology architect and pre-sales leader with over two decades designing large-scale network, identity and threat-intelligence solutions for enterprise and event-scale environments. He served as Distinguished Engineer and Director of SMEs at Infoblox, combining deep hands-on systems design, prototype programming and global presales strategy to align technical solutions with business outcomes. His background spans postgraduate applied physics, high-performance visualization research, digital film visual effects (credits include The Matrix) and leading the world's largest temporary event network, InteropNet. Geoff is as comfortable writing a script to fix production systems as he is mentoring teams and defining long-term presales enablement and training. Outside tech he has an eclectic history — from hair modelling and bartending to professional photography and bicycle mechanics — which informs a practical, user-focused approach to engineering and operations. Now retired in Phoenix, he retains a reputation for solving thorny infrastructure and security challenges by blending rigorous engineering with creative problem solving.
