Julian B WaddellJulian B. Waddell is a thought leader in cyber security and a seasoned start-up strategist with a vast array of experience in both fields. That is what most people know about him. What you may not know is that he is a terrible singer and dancer, but hat doesn't stop him from singing embarrassingly loud and at random while performing dance moves that look differently in his head than they do in real life. He is also a gifted storyteller with a passion for learning little known historical facts. In order to fulfill his passion for entrepreneurial endeavors, he stepped down as the chief information security officer at Oakwood University to focus on being a professor and start-up consultant for early-stage entrepreneurs. Well, that's partly true. The more accurate reason was that he hadn't had time to play video games for years because of his dedication to the job. The moment he realized that he had significantly improved his organization's security posture, he knew it was time to dust off the old PS4 and ride off into the sunset. Outside of all the awesome games he is currently playing, Julian is a great business wingman. Be it a grappling hook, a sound business plan, or X-ray vision, Julian works tirelessly to equip his clients with the tools they need to run successful businesses. What makes Julian so good at what he does? He is an empathic critical thinking strategist who has 23 combined years of experience in information security, information technology, and business strategy. He has served as one of the lead technical specialists of the Data at Rest Security Encryption initiative implemented by NASA (They are in charge of getting us to space, PEOPLE!) to increase information security for their users, and his team received national recognition for their efforts. There is a lot that can be said about Julian The Idea Wingman Waddell, but there's not enough time in the world. If you ever get an opportunity to meet this living legend in person, ask him to tell you about the epic project he is currently taking on, challenge him to a game of Brawlhalla, OR congratulate him on becoming a published author.
