John Payne
Prior to founding Procella, John was Chief Architect for Enterprise Security and Infrastructure at Akamai Technologies. His career has taken him from IBM mainframes, through UNIX systems administration and networking before waking up one morning and realizing most of his working hours were spent worrying about Information Security issues. From his early beginnings in IP networking using a modified gopher server to publish Officevision/VM calendars via HTTP/0.9, he has always looked for ways to make data secure and accessible. His most recent role at Akamai was to disrupt how Akamai consumes and creates IT services with a focus of moving the enterprise network to a scalable Zero Trust platform.
