Collin Ellis is a Manager of Solutions Engineering at ThreatLocker, and a living example of the CyberBay movement that’s been taking shape behind the scenes for years.

In this episode, recorded live at the CyberBay Summit 2025, Collin and producer Sarina Gandy explore his childhood in Tampa Bay, the early sparks that shaped his curiosity, and the connections that led him into cybersecurity and kept him there since. Together, they reflect on the role relationships play in career development, the leaders who influenced Collin’s values, and the lasting impact of Arnie Bellini’s CyberBay vision on both his path and the region at large.
