Nathan Sowatskey is a Principal Consultant and seasoned engineering leader with 11+ years of experience building resilient systems and high-performing teams for regulated industries, now based in Madrid. He combines deep technical pedigree from long-term senior roles at Cisco—including multicloud, DevSecOps and network programmability leadership—with strategic security and platform work as a founder member of Swiss Re’s Chief Security Office. Nathan has led engineering at startups and scale-ups (VP Engineering at Zeetta) and driven product pivots, IP creation and successful partner engagements across 5G, cloud and automation. He contributes to prominent open-source projects like Ansible (installation docs) and publishes strategy, code and tools that unify API, design and observability approaches across organisations. Fluent in translating complex regulatory and architectural constraints into auditable, production-ready platforms, he pairs academic depth (MScs in AI and Networks) with pragmatic delivery.
