The commercial engine for MedTech

Born in Tyler, Texas, and raised a Longhorn fan, Skylar got down to Austin as quickly as he could. At the tail-end of earning a degree in Finance from UT Austin, he decided to follow a rugby buddy and fill some extra time by working part-time at a small startup called SpareFoot (now Storable). He immediately fell in love with the pace and challenges of the startup world and spent close to 4.5 years learning from Chuck, Mario, and all of his other incredible leaders and peers. After a brief stop at a seed-stage facial recognition company (Waldo Photos), he decided to learn about B2B software and cybersecurity by joining a later-stage startup called AlienVault. A year and a half later, AT&T agreed to purchase AlienVault and create AT&T Cybersecurity, a newly formalized division within AT&T Business.

Over the next two years, he and Casey worked together to re-launch a managed security service that ultimately became the centerpiece of the division’s strategy. They managed to 5x the customer count and 15x the revenue run rate, spending long days and nights collaborating along the way. So, when Casey asked if he’d be interested in helping out with a “side project”, it was an easy yes.

When not working on MedScout, Skylar enjoys skiing, rugby, working out, surfing, kayaking, reading, enjoying the Austin food scene, and traveling.

Prior to MedScout, Casey was an intelligence analyst in the Marine Corps, Lead cybersecurity analyst for AT&T’s government-focused MTIPS solution, and Director of the Security Operations Center in direct support of AT&T’s Managed Threat Detection & Response service offering. At MedScout, Casey has enjoyed applying his tactical background and passion for innovation to empower sales and marketing teams. Casey earned his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and enjoys the outdoors, wake surfing, road trips, and spending time with family.
