Sean Herron

Hello! I'm a passionate technology strategist, cybersecurity leader, and part-time farmer. My career has taken me through a diverse set of fields, from contributing to open data initiatives at NASA to leading engineering teams at PlanetSlack, and Samsara. I've also spent time as a Presidential Innovation Fellow at the White House during the Obama administration and was one of the founding members of 18F.

Currently, I am the Director of Security Engineering at Samsara, where I lead efforts to protect our corporate system, customer data, and key engineering platforms. My wife and I also own Hawk Hill Farm, a regenerative small farm located just outside of Eugene, Oregon.

I write about an eclectic variety of topics, including cybersecurity, technology, travel, and transportation infrastructure. I'm occasionally available for speaking engagements and consulting work. If you're interested in partnering with me, I can be reached at sean@seanherron.com.
