Dave Asprey's Summary
I'm a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, investor, speaker and computer security expert who also spent 15 years and $250,000 to hack his own biology.
The Financial Times calls me a "bio-hacker who takes self-quantification to the extreme of self-experimentation" because I upgraded my brain by >20 IQ points, lowered my biological age, and lost 100 lbs without using calories or exercise. I write about it at
http://bulletproofexec.com. But that's just for fun.
I spend my days speaking, writing, and thinking about cloud & virtualization security & performance. My cloudywords.com blog was named "Top 100 cloud blogs" by Cloud Expo. I sit on RSA China's Program Committee and co-chair the Cloud Security Alliance's Virtualization Working Group. I'm a CLOUD2 Commissioner.
My writing has been published by the NY Times and Fortune. I'm a sought-after public speaker and evangelist with thousands of hours on stage globally. I've presented at Wharton, Kellogg, the Univ. of California, and Singularity University, as well as hundreds of technology conferences like Interop, VMworld, RSA, Cloud Expo, etc. The Washington Post and countless other media outlets have quoted me about security, cloud, and self-upgrading.
My core industries are cloud, virtualization, security, software, & networking (Trend Micro, Citrix, Blue Coat, Zeus, 3Com, Exodus) and consumer medtech/anti-aging (Corventis, Basis).
I've run strategic planning, product management, and corporate & business development at companies ranging from pre-revenue startups to public global players.
I've sat on Advisory Boards for IBM, JPMorgan Partners, Sierra Ventures, Collation (IBM), Afara (Sun), Netscaler (Citrix), Inkra (Cisco/Savvis) & ran the University of California Internet Engineering program for 5 years.
