Jacob KrellSecure AI & Cybersecurity Leader

I build systems that are hard to break and I break systems that appear resilient. I help organizations turn technical risk into competitive advantage through three core disciplines: penetration testing and red team operations, secure AI development, and strategic GRC leadership including vCISO, vCPO, and AI governance services.

On offense, I lead full-scope assessments across web applications, cloud infrastructure, Active Directory, APIs, wireless networks, and physical security, paired with adversary emulation and social engineering campaigns that test both technical controls and human decision making. On the build side, I design and ship production-grade AI systems, intelligent automation frameworks, and full-stack applications with security embedded from day one. At the executive level, I translate technical risk into clear business context, stand up security and AI programs from scratch, and guide organizations through compliance, active incidents, and long-term transformation.
