Board of Directors

Timothy Sullivan, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Board, Fidelis Security Systems

Timothy Sullivan is a dynamic technology entrepreneur with more than twenty years of experience in building emerging technology companies in a variety of vertical markets. Mr. Sullivan founded Fidelis Security Systems, the authority in extrusion prevention technology, in 2002 and bootstrapped the company to ultimately secure $26 million in venture capital financing.

Under his leadership, Fidelis developed and marketed the industry's most comprehensive data leakage prevention product, winning accolades from the media and customers alike. Having been responsible for all initial customer sales, Mr. Sullivan took the company from pre-revenue through to its first seven-figure deals and secured strategic relationships with technology leaders such as IBM.
