Cameron Perry
Director, Client Services at Karissa Breen Industries
After a decade inside the tech industry, Cam joined an executive search firm and soon found himself focusing on security and running the tech division of the company. After a few years, he set-up his own business in executive search for security, working with global tier-1 clients across the region. Looking at how digital technology was changing the world, he fully embraced bleeding edge digital marketing to help grow his business and fell in love with what it could do.
Moving in similar security circles, he fortuitously met his business partner in 2017, and they instantly saw eye-to-eye on a tonne of areas in terms of both security and digital marketing. In a whirlwind of activity and sleepless nights, they forged a host of organisations in, on, and around security, helping businesses engage with people. With a popular blog, podcasts, and strong social following, they have become somewhat of a hub for the industry.
