Andre Van Klaveren — CEO
I build security organizations that scale and that enable business through alignment to strategy. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve focused on embedding security into the way products are designed, built, and delivered- not as a checkpoint, but as a strategic capability. Most recently, I led a global Security Advisory organization supporting more than 1,100 annual secure design engagements across U.S. and International portfolios. By implementing risk-based governance and AI-enabled process innovation, we increased operational capacity by 53% while reducing review cycle time by up to 32%. Beyond operational performance, I’ve contributed to enterprise-wide security maturity transformation from Gartner 1.1 to 4.0 by implementing threat modeling methodology and integrating security-by-design principles into SDLC governance and aligning effort to measurable risk. My work increasingly sits at the intersection of product security and emerging technology risk. I've partnered with cross-functional leadership to: • Develop enterprise Post-Quantum Cryptography strategy • Establish AI governance frameworks aligned to legal and regulatory expectations • Refactor third party risk evaluation workflows to help identify and close security blind spots • Provide executive-level product risk visibility to CISO, CTO, and Board stakeholders I am particularly energized by building operating models that allow security teams to focus on the risks that matter most, while enabling engineering velocity. In addition to enterprise leadership, I serve as Co-Leader of the OWASP St. Louis chapter and regularly speak on secure design, AI risk, and modern security concerns. If you’re building or transforming a Product Security or Application Security function and want to discuss scalable approaches to risk-based governance, I’m always open to thoughtful conversation.
