No Password Required Podcast Episode 59 — Mariana Padilla
Mariana Padilla — CEO of HACKERverse.ai, Disruptor of Cybersecurity Sales and Most Other Things
We sit down with Mariana Padilla, CEO and Co-Founder of HACKERverse.ai—an AI-driven platform transforming how cybersecurity solutions are tested and purchased. From her early days in education and nonprofits to building a career in cybersecurity marketing, Mariana has always sought to challenge inefficiency and champion innovation. From the helm of HACKERverse, she’s helping security buyers make smarter, data-driven decisions while eliminating the friction of traditional vendor sales.
She joins hosts Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields, P.A., and resident cybersecurity expert Kayley Melton, Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Cognitive Security Institute, to explore how her self-proclaimed status as a "bad employee" shaped her leadership approach, why passive aggression is her ultimate pet peeve, and how adopting a beginner’s mindset has helped her scale quickly in a complex industry. Mariana also reveals how her team is tackling the trust gap in cybersecurity sales—by letting the product speak for itself.
In the Lifestyle Polygraph segment, Kayley asks Mariana who she would hire if resumes for Superman and Batman landed on her desk. Her answer took us down a dark-night path we didn’t see coming.
