T.J. Cooley

Co-Founder & CEO

T.J. is a growth architect with 25 years of experience scaling early-stage companies into market leaders. He's held executive roles at VMware, Citrix, and Tanium, and helped drive two venture-backed startups to acquisition: StackRox (acquired by Red Hat) and Revelstoke Security (acquired by Arctic Wolf). Known for a people-first, execution-driven leadership style, T.J. balances big-picture vision with a hands-on, team-focused approach. He has a proven ability to recruit, hire, and retain top talent, and his leadership, rooted in culture, relationships, and accountability, has fueled consistent growth. At Namara, he brings that same expertise to translating innovation into value: from idea, to product, to sales, to happy customers.
