Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLarry Maccherone is a founder and seasoned DevSecOps transformation leader with 14+ years helping mid-to-large enterprises and 600 development teams take ownership of software security through cultural and organizational change. He blends deep cybersecurity pedigree—from founding director roles at Carnegie Mellon’s CyLab and SCC—with hands-on software practice, authoring a dozen open-source projects including one that attracts roughly a million downloads per month. Larry has led enterprise-wide Secure Development Lifecycle and DevSecOps initiatives at Comcast and Contrast Security, and now builds Lumenize Nebula, an agentic engineering platform that operationalizes business ontologies. Known for applying developer psychology and team sociology to dismantle organizational pathology, he couples quantitative analytics experience (Rally, AgileCraft, Tasktop) with practical coaching roots going back to TSP/PSP and CMMI work. Based in Raleigh, NC, he pairs academic rigor (PhD ABD, Carnegie Mellon) and an electrical engineering foundation from Virginia Tech with an uncommon focus on systems that make secure development the team default.
