About John Nellen

John Nellen brings 20 years of cybersecurity and technology experience to his role as Founder and CEO of Todyl. Prior to founding the company in 2015, he spent nearly 8 years as Senior Director of Engineering & Technology and Head of Information Security at Next Jump, where he managed security programs for a company serving over 70% of the Fortune 1000. While at Next Jump, he realized end-to-end security programs need a unified approach, not a maze of tools and vendors. That insight led him to start Todyl.  Under his leadership, Todyl has raised $85M in funding, grown to 150+ employees across 4 offices, and achieved Inc. 5000 recognition (#8 in Security, #5 in Colorado) while protecting over 10,000 businesses globally.
