Shane Speering
Founder
Born in 1968, just three years before Intel released the world's first commercially available microprocessor in 1971, Shane Speering has lived through the entire personal computing revolution -- not as an observer, but as a working professional who rode every wave of change. From the early days of self-taught computing in the Australian Army, through the dot-com boom, the rise of enterprise security, the cloud era, and now into the age of AI, Shane's career maps almost perfectly onto the history of modern computing itself.
