John Kinsella, Angel Investor

High-impact security-focused engineering leader with a range of experience from creating products from scratch to running international high-scale engineering/ops teams. Although I wrote my first computer program in 1982, I've been working with technology since 1995 professionally. Since then I've worked for the State of California, the US Government, un-named international organizations, and a collection of private and public US corporations. I've designed secure networks and acted as CSO for multiple large corporations. I've tested and improved the software your bank probably uses. To a collection of startups in the infosec space, I help however I can. Sometimes this is demoing their product and providing feedback, sometimes it's helping rework their pitch deck based on my experience raising, investing, and telling stories, sometimes it's helping with GTM, sometimes it's making an introduction to a potential customer, partner, advisor, or investor, sometimes it's writing a check. Often it's being a founder therapist after having been in the trenches myself.
