Our Team

John Zicker - Chief Executive Officer

John Zicker is a veteran entrepreneur with a proven track record of expeditiously bringing companies from initial concept to thriving businesses. Recently at Sana Security as CEO, Zicker transformed an interesting laboratory project into a thriving business, breaking through the exceedingly crowded computer security market to emerge as one of the top three vendors in intrusion prevention and anti malware software, competing with some of the biggest names in technology today. With an enviable list of high profile customers in the hotly competitive financial and government sectors, Zicker currently dedicates himself to high-level customer care, overseeing product development, directing company operations, increasing sales and attracting investment. Sana Security was successfully sold to AVG. In his previous role as founder and CTO of Sagent Technology, Zicker brought to life a highly complex business intelligence concept, built a team of 200+ worldwide employees, and broadened the company's offerings and differentiation through two highly successful, strategic acquisitions. His leadership contributed to an extremely successful initial public offering, and a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion. At ReportSmith, a company he co-founded in 1991, Zicker pioneered the world's first 'live' database reporting concept, acquiring enough customers and revenues to sell the company to Borland for six times its revenues - an unmatched multiple for its time. Zicker has also held research positions at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, NASA Ames and Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. Zicker holds an MSEE degree from the University of Wisconsin Madison and a BSEE degree from the University of California, Davis.
