Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSven Auhagen is a product and engineering leader who builds cybersecurity products and the teams that ship them, blending 11+ years of founder experience with deep technical roots in Linux kernel networking, C, and secure systems architecture. He co-founded and led Voleatech from two people to a deployed OT/ICS cybersecurity platform and successfully transitioned the business into Belden, where he now owns strategy and delivery for a three-product cyber security cluster with 60+ engineers. Comfortable from kernel-level code to boardroom business cases, he insists every engineering decision maps to measurable customer and business outcomes and organizes teams for end-to-end ownership. An operator who scales by structuring autonomous, accountable teams, he also contributes to open-source networking tooling—improving IPv6 and nftables integration in miniupnpd—demonstrating a preference for pragmatic, low-level fixes that materially improve deployed systems.
