Background

About Nick Reva

Global Head of Security Engineering @ DoorDash, Wolt & DeliverooLeading elite technical security engineering teams to protect and enable the world’s most innovative companies.Choosing a life of service and humility for my teams, mentees and industry. Driven to be good human, give more than I take, give to the industry, be a mentor and pay it forward. I am highly intentional in our security planning and not actively seeking unsolicited solutions from vendors. Our security architecture and roadmap are well-defined, so cold sales pitches or random tool solicitations are unlikely to receive a response. Similarly, for recruiters: our company (and my team) does not engage with external recruiting agencies.About Nick Reva:Nick is a security leader with 19 years of experience exclusively in Security Engineering, including 12 years at engineering-first companies including DoorDash, Snap and SpaceX, where technical rigor, velocity, and innovation are culture. I’ve built and led high-performing teams and delivered security outcomes that enabled the business.What sets me apart is a blend of deep technical expertise, high EQ, and a business-first mindset. I bring clarity, empathy, and strong executive presence to every conversation, and I thrive in environments where security is viewed as a strategic technical differentiator—not a compliance checkbox.Vibrant ESTJ "Executive" personality type with a keen focus on leading the way on difficult paths, continued improvement and bias for action. I’m predictable, stable, committed, and high grit.I’m happiest when I can empower teams of software, security engineers and TPMs to exceed their own expectations, grow, and flourish.
