I'm Blake,a Technical Account Executive

I'm an Account Executive with over 8+ years in sales. Based in Toronto, I work with CTOs, CISOs, IT leaders and Engineering teams to evaluate software that improves their security and infrastructure.

A little more human

Curious, competitive and always up for a good conversation.

I enjoy working with technical teams to understand complex problems and find practical ways to make their technology more resilient, secure and effective. The most useful sales conversations are collaborative, grounded in how a team actually works and what they need to improve.

Outside of work, I volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, play men's league basketball and spend more time than I should on trivia. My dog is my favourite reason to get outside and take the long way home. I also lived in the Netherlands during university and still look for any excuse to travel.
