Background

About Paul Jacobs

Proven technology executive with an eligible security clearance and a strong record of aligning secure, cloud-native solutions to the mission-critical needs of the FBI, DoD and Fortune 500 enterprises. I specialize in the architecture, delivery, and sustainment of complex digital platforms that scale securely and deliver measurable mission and operational impact. With deep expertise across cloud ecosystems—particularly AWS—I lead enterprise-wide transformations that drive system stability, performance engineering, and secure service delivery. I’ve built and led high-performing, globally distributed teams to design and deploy cloud-based microservices architectures, delivering scalable, resilient platforms that makes sense of large data sets across defense and commercial domains. Recognized for fostering collaborative, accountable environments and delivering results under pressure, I bring a strong foundation in secure design practices, performance optimization, and regulatory compliance (NIST, RMF, FedRAMP). I combine technical rigor with mission focus to accelerate cloud adoption, reduce risk, and enable sustainable value at scale.
