## About
Brett Kelsey is Chief AI Officer at Athena, where he's passionate about disrupting the status quo and bringing true change to cybersecurity that focuses on outcomes-based solutions rather than checkbox compliance. Over more than two decades, Brett has spearheaded growth strategies for the cybersecurity industry, working with Fortune 500 companies across financial services, healthcare, oil & gas, retail, and federal, state, and local governments. His work centers on managed security services (MSSP), where he has built a track record of developing, managing, and strengthening strategic partnerships with leading technology and cybersecurity companies, security solution providers, and cloud services providers. Brett has led large global teams through transformational change, combining deep technical credibility with the commercial instincts needed to scale a security practice. He now applies that same lens to how agentic AI is reshaping the MSSP model, pushing the industry to measure success by outcomes delivered, not tools deployed.
