I have an enormous amount of respect for Julio. He is not only smart and technically adept, but he also has strong leadership ability and motivates those around him. Julio is dedicated to information security; I was impressed by his layered approach to security and skilled use of many different technologies to meet and exceed IT security requirements. Furthermore, his ability to identify, triage, and mitigate security issues make him a highly valuable member of the team. Simply put, Julio gets the job done, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in an executive leadership position in the near future.
