One outstanding individual who has played a vital role in this regard is Raffaele Mautone, Founder and CEO of AaDya Security, based in Detroit, Michigan. Mautone’s strategic thinking and remarkable leadership have been instrumental in his success as an IT, sales, and operations professional, having worked with top-tier firms such as Duo, FireEye, McAfee, and Dell.

Mautone’s exceptional skills and experience extend beyond IT and security. He is well-versed in implementing marketing and sales strategies, positioning companies for future growth, and deploying applications and business process improvements to facilitate bookings, leads, and new go-to-market programs.
