Cyberstarts
Jason Clark brings decades of experience executing successful strategic security programs and business strategies to Cyberstarts as the Chairman of the CISO Advisory board. Jason is also Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Netskope. Jason started his career by breaking the mold and heading to the Air Force rather than his family legacy of Army service. Following his military service, he became a CISO for the New York Times at age 26 and kept building from there. Jason advises, “You should always be seeking out jobs you’re actually not qualified for. I think that’s how you grow. If you know you could do the job, and you’ve got half the skills, go for it.” Jason aspires to a legacy of increasing diversity in the cybersecurity industry and founded a non-profit to do just that.
