Background

About Rob Mariani

Fiercely passionate about collaborating with colleagues to help customers protect their assets, mitigate risk and strengthen their Cybersecurity programs. With extensive experience in IT and Cybersecurity portfolios across technology and services, I have served as both a team leader and individual contributor, building long lasting relationships grounded in mutual benefit, loyalty and value. Several times in my career, I found myself in situations in which we either envisioned or created solutions to propel a client forward or transform their approach improving efficacy and providing business value. I’ve been told my secret power is building collaborations within and across customers, alliances and competitors alike. After achieving success early in my career helping clients use technology and services to further their business objectives, I pivoted to an emerging focus on Cybersecurity and Risk Management, including M&A and Regulatory Compliance as board level matters. Over the last 24 years I helped envision, create and sell Cybersecurity portfolios for both BT and NTT. In each case, I started the journey in a small, focused specialty company which was merged or acquired by the larger IT Services industry leader who desired a Cybersecurity capability. This provided me the opportunity to work the Cybersecurity portfolio with diverse clients across industries, leading technology providers and global alliance partners. It has been my good fortune to be part of high growth and transformation trajectories while working with individuals, teams and senior leadership. My wife and I now reside in the First Coast of Florida after spending more than 30 years in NY where we raised our strong and independent daughter. Investing time in my community has always been a priority and allowed me to spend time with hobbies including soccer, motorcycles and mentoring.
