Jamie Tomasello

“Jamie is one the most knowledgeable and dedicated cybersecurity professionals I have worked with. We worked together on a challenging cybersecurity governance project that required project management skills, technical expertise and deep institutional knowledge. Jamie’s contributions during this project as a cloud security alliance subject matter expert was invaluable. I would work with Jamie again in a heartbeat, Jamie is a team player that would be an asset to any organization. ”

“I worked for Jamie during my time at Duo Security, we worked very closely together on the FedRAMP authorization process. Hands down, Jamie is the best leader I've ever had the privilege of working directly for. Her technical knowledge is amazing, but even more amazing is her ability to weave privacy and compliance seamlessly into the business. Jamie is the most uniting person I've ever met in the Information Security space. Engineering teams were happy to have her input, direction and guidance. In the nearly two years I worked for Jamie I never heard her say "no" to a request that would have sent some InfoSec professionals into a tizzy; Jamie always asked "why". Jamie understands and embodies that belief that the role of security is to enable business outcomes. As a people manager, Jamie is protective, challenging, and empowering. I never felt on my own or completely exposed to danger, Jamie went out of her way to support every one of her direct reports, peers, and I've even seen her cover down for a superior more than once. Jamie constantly challenged me and her other direct reports to grow, to get better; not because we were below standards but because she wanted to enrich our careers. Jamie never once micro-managed me or anybody on the team; she did an amazing job providing accountability and autonomy in a way that many don't get to experience. I decided to leave Duo after the Cisco acquisition for various reasons, but leaving Jamie was by far the hardest part about making my decision. Not only was she thrilled for me and my new opportunity, she has remained a trusted mentor. I would have never grown into my current path had I not had the experience of working for Jamie. I will forever remain grateful for the time I spent working for and with her. To this day I would follow Jamie to the gates of hell and back.”
