Meet Our Executive Team and Board of Directors
Executive Team
Our executive team has a total of almost 70 years of combined experience among them with a range of diverse skills that include cyber security, accounting, software development and engineering just to name a few. Each member of our executive team was hand picked by our founder, Eoin Keary. His goal is to find the best people who can help his company become a cybersecurity juggernaut.

Rahim has been involved in the cybersecurity industry in various guises. Prior to co-founding Edgescan, Rahim was enjoying the California sun as head of security for a cloud-based VOIP provider based in Los Angeles.

With a B.Sc from Trinity College Dublin and an M.Sc from Dublin City University, Rahim is also a former Big 4 consultant, where he first met Eoin. Rahim regularly speaks (and is sometimes listened to) at conferences and has been involved with and contributed to organisations such as OWASP for too long.
