Founders

  • Arjun BisenFounder

    I started my career as an Australian diplomat, during which time I analyzed geopolitical and economic risk across APAC and writing Australia's Cyber Engagement Strategy. I then studied the intersection of technology and risk at Harvard on a full Fulbright scholarship. I've since led risk teams at Stripe and Google Search before founding Overwatch to help those teams get ahead of emerging risks.
