Greg Tomchick attended Florida State College and Old Dominion University before being selected in the 27th round of the 2015 MLB June Amateur Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. A six-foot-four-inch right-handed pitcher, Tomchick played for three seasons in the minor leagues before deciding to pursue his other passion, running a software development company he had founded while earning his Bachelor of Science in Business at the Strome College of Business.

Unfortunately, Greg’s company was the victim of a vicious cyber-attack that crippled the business, damaging its reputation and profits, and forcing its eventual closure. That’s when Greg decided to embark upon a career in cybersecurity with the intent of helping other business leaders secure their most valuable assets from the dangerous and evolving cyber threats they face.

After conducting more than 200 cyber threat assessments for organizations across government and the Fortune 50, Greg co-founded Valor where, as Partner and CEO, he is more committed than ever to helping defense, investment, and other digitally evolving businesses to bolster their cyber defenses. Through his unique lens as a former professional athlete, entrepreneur, cyber-attack victim, and cybersecurity expert, Greg and his team are particularly focused on identifying and mitigating cyber threats up front, and, when necessary, countering cyber-attacks with a targeted and strategic set of responses.

Greg and his team at Valor know that the cyber threat landscape is constantly changing, and that only the most informed, nimble, and prepared organizations will remain secure.
