Valentina Flores is a recognized leader in modern cybersecurity and inclusive tech leadership.
She is the CEO and Co-Founder of Red Sentry, a proactive cybersecurity company that breaks into your network, so hackers never get the chance. Before working to help protect companies, she served as a detective on joint federal task forces, tracking cybercriminals across digital back-alleys. Now a public speaker on hacker psychology, a two-time award-winning cybersecurity leader, and a fierce advocate for women in tech, Valentina is redefining what leadership looks like in the industry, championing smarter and more accessible security for all.
Under Valentina’s leadership, Red Sentry has grown from the ground up into a multimillion-dollar company protecting over 1,000 organizations. In just four years, she’s led the company through 484% growth, built a partner network of 175+ MSPs and IT providers, and grown the client base by 50% in the last year alone. Red Sentry’s hybrid approach, combining expert-led penetration testing with an intuitive platform, makes cybersecurity accessible to companies of all sizes and industries.
Valentina Flores is one of the few women leading a high-growth cybersecurity firm. In a space where less than 2% of venture capital goes to women-led companies, she stands out not only for her results but for her impact. She champions inclusion, mentorship, and equitable access within her team and throughout the industry. Through Red Sentry, Valentina isn’t just scaling a company; she’s redefining what modern, impactful leadership looks like in cybersecurity.
