Rahim Jina
COO & Co-Founder

Rahim has 15 years experience in the information security industry and prior to edgescan, Rahim was enjoying the California sun as head of security for a cloud-based VOIP provider. Convincing Rahim to return home to Ireland was a long and arduous process, however after much nagging and some personal visits, Eoin convinced him that it does not in fact rain as much as his memory served. After feeling betrayed initially, Rahim is now extremely happy to be back in native Dublin, enjoying the clouds. With a B.Sc from the world famous Trinity College Dublin and an M.Sc from Dublin City University, Rahim is also an ex ‘Big 4’ consultant, which he can attribute to meeting Eoin.

At edgescan, Rahim is responsible for operational excellence across the entire organisation.
