Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNico Waisman is a security leader with 7 years of listed experience and two decades of deep technical pedigree, currently serving as Head of Security at XBOW after senior security leadership roles at Lyft and GitHub. He built and led initiatives—like the GitHub Security Lab and the early OSS Coalition—that bridged security research and developer communities to improve open source security at scale. Nico combines world-class hands-on vulnerability research, reverse engineering and exploit development with strategic program building and advisory work for startups such as Fleet Device Management. He has a long track record mentoring researchers, launching community-driven bounty programs, and driving adoption of tooling like CodeQL across the ecosystem. Based in Seattle but originally from Argentina, he brings a bilingual global perspective and a knack for turning deep technical findings into practical security programs. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable shipping research-grade exploits and shaping cross-industry initiatives to harden software supply chains.
