“John is a prime example of a strong leader who isn't afraid to give honest feedback to help out their colleagues to help them improve their skills and posture. I had the honor to have experience working with John when I was an Cyber Threat Analyst Intern at iQ4 and he was one of two mentors that gave our group valuable feedback and direct guidance in the field of cybersecurity, NIST standards, Risk management, Risk Assessment, Threat Management and other concepts directly related to solving a complex insider threat problem in the financial sector. If you want a great mentor who is very detailed, observant really knows his field, who gives valuable honest feedback that's not sugar-coated, John is the man! Thank you John for the guidance and feedback that you've given our group during the virtual internship. I have come out of that experience exactly knowing what to do when faced with a similar insider threat situation that we need to assess and the steps that need to be taken. Keep up the great work and I look forward to collaborating and/or networking with you now and in the future. Finally, thank you for being in my circle of influence and helping me to further my cybersecurity knowledge.”
