From learning Unix in a pre-firewall era to honing his skills in Japan and navigating a diverse career that includes a stint as a privacy attorney, Jonathan’s story is a testament to embracing change and continuous growth.

Throughout the episode, Jonathan reflects on the evolution of technology, the importance of humility and collaboration in security leadership, and his pivotal role in one of the largest privacy class action lawsuits against Facebook.
