“Conal and I worked closely together for ~2 years at Flexera. His purview includes enterprise systems and the vast array of SaaS/on-premise products in Flexera's portfolio. I have seen the full breadth of his information security knowledge & impact - from tactical day-to-day operations to strategic planning. He has the unique ability to focus on the critical details while pursuing best-practice and methodical strategies to drive organizational security holistically. He is adept at influencing matrixed and distributed resources to achieve security goals. Bottom line, Conal is tenacious in his passion for reducing risk and maturing Flexera's security posture. Conal is a strong asset for Flexera and his contributions will be highly valued for years to come. ”
