What do you know about launching, scaling, and exiting a cybersecurity startup?
Our guest today needs no introduction. Ron Gula is the Former CEO and Co-Founder of Tenable, a global cybersecurity company headquartered in Columbia, MD. Ron and his wife Cyndi launched Tenable in 2002 and saw it through to a successful IPO in 2018. Over that time, Ron and Cyndi emerged as leading voices in cybersecurity through their work as investors, though-leaders, and philanthropists. In addition, Ron and Cyndi have invested in dozens of cybersecurity startups, many of which have scaled and come to define the startup ecosystem in the Mid-Atlantic.
Ron talks about starting out in the Air force and his journey from serving his country in cyber defense for the NSA to launching an industry-leading cybersecurity company. We discuss his post-IPO move into angel and venture investing with his wife and co-founder for life Cyndi, and he shares his advice for founders looking to launch and scale a new venture.
You can check out Ron and Cyndi's new adventures in tech at Gula.tech, and you can find Ron on LinkedIn.
