20+ years in IT leadership, network security, and operations. CISM-certified. Founded and sold a 120-employee healthcare company. Designed Cisco and Microsoft network architectures. Closed $15M+ annually through a self-built sales engine.
Every credential earned in the field, not a classroom. Engineering roots, network architecture, a company built and sold, a sales engine closed at $15M+ annually, then formalized as CISM.
Not a career of titles. A career of things that got built, scaled, and in one case sold.
Governance without ground truth
is just a PDF no one reads.
Most cybersecurity leaders studied frameworks first. Owen Robinson built companies first. The CISM certification earned in 2025 was not a career change. It was the formalization of two decades spent building HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, configuring network systems, and managing enterprise risk across three different industries.
That combination of hands-on infrastructure experience, operational P&L leadership, and security governance is what separates builders from paper-credentialed managers. You cannot write a policy for a system you have never deployed. You cannot govern risk you have never owned.
A few things that define the career outside the job titles.
Right Choice Home Care started as a single-person operation and grew to 120+ employees across three locations in NC and FL before a successful exit sale. HIPAA-compliant policies built from zero. Government contracts with medical facilities secured through direct outreach. Revenue reached $1.2M+ before the sale. The entire experience, from hire one to exit, is the playbook for how Owen approaches any organization he joins.
