CHAD LODER, FOUNDER & CEO

Chad is a security industry pioneer. As the former co-founder and VP of Engineering at Rapid7, Chad helped develop a family of cyber-security products that are still used in 120 countries today – an impressive portfolio that helped take the company from a private startup to a successful $900 MM IPO

These days, when not trying to dance salsa around the world, Chad is changing the conversation of cyber security within organizations. Bringing his passion for culture and communication to Habitu8, Chad has linked the understanding between security professionals and the habitual user who is in the trenches every day.
