BRIAN MURPHY
FOUNDER & CEO, RELIAQUEST, tampa
ReliaQuest is a cyber-security firm that has grown and also developed a reputation as a good workplace. Murphy founded the firm in 2007. “The evolution from being the founder of a startup to running a global company at scale has been very interesting,” he says. “You can’t lose the edge you have as a founder to drive the mindset and the pace of the organization, but as CEO you have to ensure you are building the programs and scale needed to continue to grow.”
