Michael Davis

Michael C. Davis leads Merek.io as its CEO and Founder. His research and technical focus, other than providing top-notch professional security services, has produced a cybersecurity firm that deeply considers human behavior as a relative factor as it relates to cyber-mindfulness and security awareness. He is a member of the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS), the New Mexico Technology Council, and a board member of Santa Fe Community Foundation’s Envision Fund. He is also an active board member of Santa Fe Community College’s Foundation, and a Service Advisory Council board advisor for the Santa Fe Business Incubator.

His 22-year career within the United States Navy, married with his Information Security work with Boeing, IBM, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory has been widely recognized for his cross-sector competence and his ability to analyze—and redefine—technology markets, businesses, and mindfulness within cybersecurity. Michael also enjoys the process of being creative within technology and finds that the dialogue that unfolds from the connection between cybersecurity and human behavior addresses a multitude of security best practices. Michael earned his bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Language, and holds a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership. Before opening the doors to his own cybersecurity firm, he pursued a doctoral degree in Information Technology with a focus on Technical Innovation Management. His firm's publication, "Cyber Happiness: A Technology Journey in Mindfulness", and a series of cybersecurity-based children's books is expected to be published within the next year.
