A few quotes about his beliefs and the company:

I believe the world is facing a major crisis defending corporate and governmental assets. Not only from a technology and governance perspective, but also from a people perspective, there are not nearly enough qualified cyber security professionals in place to defend and prevent these threats from escalating.

I believe this business exists to help organizations and individual professionals solve this talent problem. Helping companies find qualified cyber security talent faster and easier, and showing them how to be trained and re-skilled effectively and efficiently, is an important business to be in.
