Manage episode 467433237 series 3538736
Christian Espinosa is the founder and CEO of Blue Goat Cyber, specializing in medical device cybersecurity to enhance patient safety and data integrity. A seasoned entrepreneur, he previously built and sold a cybersecurity business, learning firsthand how to scale and structure a company for acquisition without venture capital. Once driven by the need to be the “smartest in the room,” he transformed his leadership approach to embrace collaboration, adaptability, and continuous learning, a journey he shares in his books The Smartest Person in the Room and The In-Between: Life in the Micro.
A natural risk-taker, Christian thrives in high-pressure environments, whether securing medical devices against cyber threats or pushing his limits as a certified skydiver, PADI divemaster, and Ironman triathlete. He emphasizes strategic networking, industry engagement, and building a strong support system as key to entrepreneurial success. Beyond cybersecurity, he enjoys extreme sports, heavy metal music, and spicy foods, always embracing new challenges with resilience and determination.
