Cybersecurity Expert, Keynote Speaker, Helicopter Dad

John Sileo lost his multi-million-dollar startup, his wealth, and two years of his life to cybercrime. It began when a hacker electronically embezzled from the company’s clients using John’s identity. John was initially held legally and financially responsible for the felonies committed. The losses not only destroyed his company and decimated his finances, but consumed two years of young fatherhood as he fought to stay out of jail.

But John’s story has a happy ending and has become a worldwide catalyst for change. Since being found innocent of all crimes (and the real hacker put in jail), John has made it his life’s work to share hard-earned wisdom as a cybersecurity expert, award-winning author, 60 Minutes guest, and keynote speaker. His happy clients range from the Pentagon to Amazon, small associations to enterprise organizations. His mission is to keep others from becoming the next disastrous data breach headline. John specializes in the human elements of cybersecurity and uses disarming humor, audience interaction, and cutting-edge research to keep his training relevant and entertaining.

John is President & CEO of The Sileo Group, a Colorado-based technology think tank, and serves on a variety of boards. He graduated with honors from Harvard University and was recently inducted into the National Speakers Hall of Fame. John finds his greatest joy in spending time with the loves of his life: his wife, two daughters, and mini golden doodle. And yes, life’s bumps have shaped him into a slightly over-protective but well-intentioned helicopter dad.

Cyber Security Expert John Sileo in the News

John Sileo was the featured subject of a 60 Minutes International segment on identity theft and cybercrime and has appeared as a cybersecurity expert on networks and shows including Anderson Cooper, Good Morning America, FOX Business, NBC, Rachael Ray, ABC, Dr. Oz, and Fox & Friends. His work has been published in and quoted by hundreds of journals, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Kiplinger’s, and USA Today.

John’s wheelhouse is making technology and security entertaining, non-technical, and easy to understand. He takes a potentially dry topic and brings it to life for audiences around the world.

Parallax Husband, Helicopter Dad and 2nd Degree Black Belt Everything John does revolves around his family. In addition to working every day with his Mom and Dad (it was originally their business that cybercrime destroyed, so it was the least he could do to employ them), John limits his travel so he can spend more time watching The Bachelor with his highly-spirited daughters (which he will deny, if asked), snowshoeing the Rocky Mountains with his adventurous wife and running Intentional Living Retreats in the Rocky Mountains. John does in fact like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. But he’s more into bourbon than into champagne. Even though he graduated with honors from Harvard University (I know, we can hardly believe it either), he agreed to name his mini golden doodle “Mojo" after the Austin Powers movie. John is more interested in making friends than in making money, but he loves making his living as a speaker and author.
