Why CrowdStrike?

With its explosive-growth, tripling year over year, CrowdStrike is a global cybersecurity company. In 2017, we reached the $1 Billion Valuation, having $256M invested by Google Capital, Accel, Warburg Pincus and other leading VCs. Recently, Forbes called CrowdStrike “The World’s Newest Unicorn” in the security space, and for good reason too. CrowdStrike was the first to pin the data breach at the Democratic National Committee on Russia, and provides the most comprehensive product offerings in the cybersecurity space. We are laser focused on preventing major cyber breaches that destroy organizations and individual lives.

Why choose a career in cybersecurity? In the next five years, over $1 trillion will be spent on cybersecurity, making it the fastest growing and one of the only recession proof sectors of tech. But more specifically, why CrowdStrike? It’s simple - speed of innovation, industry recognition, generous compensation/benefits, dedicated sales enablement program, track record of promoting from within rapidly, abundant tools and resources, and a fun and supportive work environment in a hot and innovative space.

What kinds of technical challenges do you and your team face?

Working with a high volume of new customers offers a lot of opportunities to appreciate the diversity of the technical ecosystem. We work with one-person teams to full C-suites and everything in between. As a team, our greatest challenge and our greatest strength is variety.

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

With a global team, it’s crucial to be intentional in how and when we meet.

What does career growth look like on your team?

Every year, I have a goal to promote at least 1-2 people on my team. When I sit down with an individual on my team, we lay out what their personal and professional goals are for the year and beyond and outline the major steps we can take to help them reach those goals. It’s very satisfying to watch your teammates grow personally and professionally.
