Most recently Rusty served as CFO of SecureForce, LLC, an information security consulting firm focused on federal government customers. Prior to SecureForce, Rusty was CFO at Agent Logic, Inc, where he oversaw the successful three year transition of a consulting services company to a software product company, growing revenues from $2.5 million to $17.6 million before exiting the company with a successful sale to Informatica Corp.
Prior to Agent Logic, Rusty was part of the Mid-Atlantic venture capital community as principal with Walker Ventures, a $100 million early stage venture capital management firm.
