As Director of Product Management, Ghadiri leads strategy, research, and design for BlueVoyant’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, which monitors clients’ security estate 24x7 to help them stay ahead of the latest cyber threats. Ghadiri’s strong product management background has kept BlueVoyant focused on both customer satisfaction and research and development. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Grinnell College and a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
“Mona’s technology leadership and passion have helped bolster BlueVoyant’s growth and development while also aiding the Microsoft community in staying ahead of the latest attack tactics from cyber criminals,” said Milan Patel, global head of managed security services (MSS) at BlueVoyant. “I am excited to see her success and dedication recognized by Microsoft.”
Of the award, Ghadiri said, “I am honored to be named a Microsoft MVP. Microsoft and BlueVoyant recognize that cybersecurity is a team sport. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Microsoft to deliver the very best in technology and defense to our joint clients.”
