• John Foster ( @dearestleader ) - Mr. Foster has 19 years of technology experience but left technical infosec in 2003 to pursue a career in Compliance and Ethics. He now focuses on bribery & corruption, environmental issues, and other interesting topics, but infosec keeps appearing in compliance and finance.
