Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarek Šottl is a people-centric cloud and DevSecOps leader with 7 years of focused experience building secure, well-architected applications and infrastructure as a CEO, principal engineer, and consultant. He combines hands-on expertise in AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD and container security with deep knowledge of standards like ISO 27000, SABSA and NIST to drive enterprise-grade DevSecOps and cloud governance. Marek has led product security and platform initiatives at companies such as Tricentis, DNAnexus and SolarWinds, introducing SBOM automation, container signing, and reusable Terraform modules while mentoring teams and hiring across SRE, DevOps and prodsec roles. He’s consulted across a wide international footprint—from South Africa to China—bringing pragmatic security engineering, tooling optimizations and cost savings to diverse environments. An evangelist for SSDLC practices and cloud auditing, he pairs security assessments and pentesting experience with firewall and network zoning know-how (F5, Fortinet) that often reveal non-obvious systemic risks. Outside corporate roles he runs his own consultancy and startup, blending R&D curiosity with operational discipline.
