About
15 years on both sides of the channel
Lucas Dowd has spent 15 years on both sides of the channel. He carried a bag for RSA, Microsoft, Mandiant and Palo Alto Networks.
He then ran revenue inside two MSPs, NuHarbor and NetCov, where he saw which vendors partners actually sell and which they ignore.
Authentic Cyber is the GTM practice built on that view: specific ICPs, honest positioning, and channel programs designed from the partner’s side of the table.
