Bethany Ayers — CEO
At Metomic, I get to work on one of the most exciting problems of our time — how to keep sensitive data safe in a world where AI is reshaping how we work. As CEO, my job is part strategist, part problem-solver, part cheerleader. I’m here to grow a culture where talented people can do the best work of their careers, and in turn change the future of cybersecurity in this new age of AI. As leaders, we need to navigate technical complexity while building a commercially viable solution. That intersection is exactly where I spend my time—connecting technical understanding with market realities to build something that matters. I'm also the co-host of The Operations Room podcast, where we speak with top operators about the real work it takes to scale a business. Drawing from my experience as a seasoned Chief Operating Officer who built GTM engines at Peak AI, NewVoiceMedia and Codility, I share tools, playbooks, and honest lessons with our community of over 28,000 operators. Our conversations expose the tactical decisions, resource allocation strategies, and organisational frameworks that separate successful scale-ups from those that plateau.
