In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with Darren Gallop, Co-Founder and CEO of Carbide, a cybersecurity firm helping businesses safeguard their data and leverage security for competitive advantage, thereby promoting growth. A TechStars alumni, Carbide has raised over $7M and is rapidly expanding its client base in regulated sectors such as e-commerce, FinTech, healthcare, and insurtech.

With over 15 years' experience as CEO and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in data-sensitive businesses, Darren has honed his skills in risk evaluation, management, and fostering growth according to organizational objectives. Before founding Carbide, Darren co-founded Marcato, a unique event management platform used globally for over 300 cultural and music events, such as Burning Man and Coachella. He served as Marcato's CEO and CISO for a decade until its acquisition by Patron Technology in 2018. This triggered Darren's full immersion into the cybersecurity industry. He is a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). Darren hosts a podcast called "Why I am Still Awake," where he offers his distinctive viewpoints on entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, and the balance of work, life, and travel.
