A dynamic leader with more than 15 years leading cutting-edge federal technology and cybersecurity programs, Brinker will provide leadership and oversight for True Zero’s entire federal portfolio driving the go-to-market vision and strategy.
“Joe’s outstanding track record for driving strategic innovation and programmatic changes within the Department of Defense, as well as within DISA, the national security space and other federal agencies speaks for itself,” said Carl Salzano, chief executive officer of True Zero Technologies. “He is a dynamic leader with a breadth of insight in the cyber domain that will further True Zero’s efforts to deliver on its mission of providing the highest level of end-state outcomes our clients have come to expect from us.”

In addition, he has specialized in key areas of the federal cyber security landscape including Zero-Trust Architecture, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Enterprise Directory Services (EDS), as well as cyber exchange and training programs.
