brands. Under Jeremy’s leadership, GroundedPath AI operates at the intersection of strategy, engineering, and product design, helping organizations eliminate waste, modernize securely, and turn promising ideas into scalable, intelligent platforms.

Before GroundedPath AI, Jeremy founded Start Left® Security, where he pioneered a new category: Developer Risk Performance Management (DevRPM). As CEO, he led the development of patented IP and a platform that redefined how engineering and security teams measure and manage risk — shifting security “left” into developer behavior, cognitive risk, and systemic code patterns long before it became industry standard. Start Left’s innovations helped companies bridge the long-standing gap between product delivery and software assurance.

With nearly two decades of experience across SaaS, product leadership, cybersecurity, and automation, Jeremy combines deep technical fluency with operational discipline and strategic foresight. His work consistently focuses on one outcome: turning complex, high-stakes challenges into clear, measurable, and sustainable systems of execution.

Today, through GroundedPath AI, he partners with founders, operators, and enterprise leaders to design the next generation of secure, AI-native systems: engineering systems that anticipate needs, personalize interactions, and deliver meaningful outcomes for the people and businesses they serve.
