Ascent Leadership Team

Our leaders reflect the experience and passion of our team, continuously pushing Ascent to grow and strive for excellence.

As a collaborative team, we know that no one person leads an organization. Our leadership team sets the strategic direction for our work, then collaborates with our Stewards to refine and execute against our vision.

With experience across the public and private sectors, our leadership team provides a holistic approach to service excellence. Their backgrounds and experiences help inform our work, ensuring we effectively serve our customers. The cyber industry takes on the most challenging problems in business, but you won’t find a group of people who are more passionate about effective, comprehensive cybersecurity to keep your company safe.
