// Security Operations Leader
Drew Sutter
Scroll01Who
I’ve spent my career scaling security operations. Starting in SIEM and detection consulting, I moved into SOC leadership and progressively larger operational mandates, running North American SOC and NOC operations across a follow-the-sun model, then owning a 24x7 team of 50 serving 250+ enterprise clients. The constant has been growth: bigger teams, more clients, higher operational maturity. I lead where security operations meet business risk, and I speak the language of both analysts and executives.
