MEET THE TEAM
ERIN CHRIST - CEO & Co-Founder
Erin Christ is the CEO and Co-Founder of Trust Player Zero. She earned a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Texas A&M University with a minor in Business. Before founding TPZ, Erin worked in consulting at PwC, where she focused on technical strategy, documentation, and helping clients make sense of complex operating environments.
At TPZ, her focus is on a problem she kept seeing across security organizations: companies have more security tools than ever, but people are still responsible for figuring out what happened, deciding what to do, and making sure the work gets finished. She is building TPZ to make security easier to understand, govern, and operate across the organization.
