Mariana Padilla is the Community Evangelist at Harmonic Security and the former CEO and founder of HACKERverse. A seasoned entrepreneur and community builder, she created HACKERverse after growing frustrated with impersonal, transactional B2B buying experiences. Mariana believes human connection is the missing ingredient in B2B and that the companies who build genuine community and trust will be the ones that dominate their markets. She speaks on AI security, community-led growth, personal branding, and professional networking, and is deeply committed to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in cybersecurity.
