TECHNOLOGY EXECUTIVE · PLATFORM BUILDER · BOARD & EXECUTIVE ADVISOR
Technology executive — builder, operator, and trusted advisor to boards.
Frank Downs is a technology executive who builds platforms, runs the infrastructure behind them, and owns the P&L that follows. He founded a cybersecurity training-technology company and sold it to ISACA, where he went on to architect one of the industry's first performance-based, cloud-delivered education platforms and lead the development team behind an enterprise risk platform later implemented by a Fortune 5 company. He holds a US patent in computerized learning systems.
Today he serves as a senior executive at BlueVoyant, acting as CISO and technology-risk advisor to the boards of multi-billion-dollar enterprises across asset management, luxury retail, cloud-native technology, and private equity. His earlier career spans a decade of national security service — including authoring sections of the President's Daily Brief — which shaped a leadership style defined by calm judgment, discretion, and the ability to translate complex technical issues into terms executives and boards act on.
