Deep experience in security is so scarce, making the security automation platform that Tines has built vital for overstretched teams.
I'm delighted to join the Tines board and to get to work more closely with @EoinHinchy @ThomasKsec and the @tines_io team

I'm incredibly proud to share that we've raised a further $55M as part of our Series B. It's a tough time for start-ups, and the @tines_io team has worked tirelessly over the last 18 months to grow every facet of the business.

In so many areas, from agriculture to climate change monitoring, @Satellogic's high-resolution imagery can provide critical insights.
Since @Earlkman first told me about their vision, it was clear they were going to change how we see the earth.
I'm delighted to join the board.
When evaluating a security startup's customer list, ignore the ones where the CISO is on the cap table.
I enjoyed catching up with @Werner while doing this interview for @ACMQueue.

The previous conversation, between @Werner and Jim Gray, took place in 2006.

A beautiful version of The Parting Glass from @Hozier with a dedication to all the people who have lost their lives to this virus, including the health worker who died today.

The 1999 Seattle WTO protests were 20th years ago.
Where were you?
I was in Amazon's decrepit 2nd & Pike HQ with @4dgifts
@earlkman @agsolino, who were conducting our annual security audit.
Tear gas seeped under the doors and through the draughty windows.

For a mighty nation like usā¦carrying on a war with a few straggling nomadsā¦is a spectacle most humiliating, an injustice unparalleled, a national crime most revolting, that must, sooner or later, bring down upon us or our posterity the judgment of Heaven

The length of a summer evening in the west of Ireland is a wonder.

For me one of the highlights of @sequoia Base Camp was a session on velocity led by @tomk_. Tom was at @amazon for 16 years and helped lead some of their infrastructure and distributed systems efforts. He now serves on a few boards including @CapitalOne and @CarbonBlack_Inc
I'm very excited to join the board of Akamai, a company I've hugely admired for almost 2 decades.
@Akamai is built around a goal of making the Internet fast, reliable, and secure (3 of my favorite adjectives).

Fondly remembering a joyful show by The Cranberries at The Tivoli Theatre in Dublin in December 1993, right after they had returned from their breakthrough tour of the US.
RIP, Dolores O'Riordan.
