Tech BRos

Technology has opened doors in so many industries and enabled us
to do so many things we couldn’t even imagine in the past. At the
same time, we’ve made things more complicated for ourselves,
creating systems that don’t always talk to each other and
languages we don’t understand.


On this edition of Out to Lunch, two lunch guests who are helping
break through the clutter, with products and services that are
enabling our tech systems to work for us more effectively - and
helping businesses better communicate their messaging.


John Morello, is Chief Technology Officer of Gutsy, a tech firm
that has come up with a better way to help companies protect
themselves against cyberthreat. More specifically, Gutsy uses
process mining – and we’ll get into that in a minute – to ensure
that the various cybersecurity systems a complex organization has
in place are talking to one another and doing what they’re
supposed to be doing.


If John’s name is familiar to you, it may be because he was a
guest on Out to Lunch in 2019, when he was running Twistlock, a
tech firm that developed cloud-based cybersecurity solutions. In
the years since then, John and his partners in Twistlock have
grown that company, attracted new investors, and created the
spinoff, Gutsy, to address a need they identified running
Twistolock.


John is a 14-year veteran of Microsoft, who lives in Baton Rouge
and is also a master diver and very active in coastal
conservation. 


Kenny Nguyen is founder and CEO of ThreeSixtyEight, a Baton
Rouge-based creative and strategic media agency that focuses on
branding, marketing and advertising with a high tech, high energy
super creative approach. The company’s origins date back to 2011,
when Kenny and his friend were still students at LSU and started
Big Fish Presentations, which specialized in public speaking and
presentation services. In 2016, it merged with another local firm
to form ThreeSixtyEight. In the years since, it has grown to
include clients that include Alfa, Tomb Raider, and Compass
Datacenters. 


Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs On the
Boulevard. You can find photos from this show by Brian Newton at
