Omar Khawaja
I had the good fortune for working with Gerard for several years at Verizon. I had a front row seat to watch him in action as he: sincerely understood his customers' needs, kept up with technologies, grew his business and was a delight to collaborate with. I have yet to meet someone with a keener understanding of the data protection space!
