Background

About Chris Rodgers

I’m a seasoned cybersecurity leader with a deep passion for solving real problems—particularly in the vulnerability management space, where too many teams chase scores instead of solutions. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve built programs from scratch, enabled partner ecosystems, led high-impact teams, and served as the technical face of organizations across pre-sales, product, and security operations.Currently, I’m the Principal Solutions Architect at Seemplicity, where I lead pre-sales strategy across the Central and Western U.S. and serve as the Partner Solutions Architect for our global alliances. I was honored to be named 2024 Global Solutions Architect of the Year, a recognition that reflects my commitment to customer success, enablement, and strategic thinking.Previously, I built the vulnerability management program at Western Union, created custom prioritization models that improved efficiency by 40%, and unified efforts across cloud, GRC, patching, and network teams. I’ve also worked across the channel as a Product Manager at Arrow, helping VARs and MSPs scale security programs with solutions from vendors like Qualys, Tenable, and Rapid7.Now, I’m focused on stepping into an executive leadership role—leading Sales Engineering at scale, mentoring the next generation of SEs, and building teams and processes that drive real outcomes. I’m passionate about clarity, execution, and making security programs easier to understand, adopt, and improve.
