Hi, I’m Glen Smale
I’m a techpreneur, multi-time startup founder, and software engineer with 15-plus years’ experience.
I’ve worked for some of the best companies and some of the biggest tech firms in the industry. I’ve built my own startups, struggled with my own applications, and seen firsthand the complexities, costs, and risks of compliance and security.
I created The Growth Framework to:
Provide clear, cost-effective compliance guidance.
Share leading cybersecurity strategies and best practices.
Offer career insights and courses to grow the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
I’m continuously expanding our guides, insights, and courses to make it simpler, faster, and more effective for startups, product teams, and professionals to succeed.
