3rd Generation World Champion | Keynote Speaker | Performance Strategist
New York, United States
AT A GLANCE David Holloway - 3rd Generation World Champion | Keynote Speaker | Performance Strategist Helps leaders build championship-level clarity - so teams execute at a high level, even under pressure through keynotes, trainings, and executive advisory work. Creator of The Performance 4 Framework Signature Keynotes: • Championship Performance Starts with Clarity • Championship Culture: Built to Win. Designed to Last Background: Former underdog walk-on → All-Star NFL competitor (Arizona Cardinals, Super Bowl XLIII) About: A former overlooked walk-on underdog, who beat the odds to become an all-star frontline competitor and helped lead the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII, David understands firsthand what separates talented teams from championship teams. But his story began long before the stadium lights. Raised in a family where excellence was the standard - the son of Super Bowl captain Brian Holloway and grandson of two-time Stanley Cup Champion Johnny “Pie” McKenzie - David grew up inside elite performance environments. “I didn’t study championship teams - I was raised in one.” Today, David translates those lessons into practical leadership systems for Fortune 500 companies and enterprise organizations navigating growth, change, and performance plateaus. Over the past decade, he has evolved into a trusted executive trainer and advisor, equipping leaders to raise standards and execute with clarity. What sets David apart is not the story alone - it’s the structure behind it. Clients don’t hire him for inspiration; they hire him for a repeatable execution model that leaders can apply immediately. His work centers on The Performance 4 - a leadership execution model designed to eliminate inconsistency and align teams under pressure. Forged inside championship environments and refined through years of enterprise leadership training, the model focuses on four non-negotiables of sustained performance: Direction – Where we’re going and why it matters Standards – The behaviors that define excellence Feedback – The conversations that drive improvement Identity – The mindset that sustain performance When leaders create clarity across these four areas, teams don’t just improve - they perform at a higher level and sustain it. Through keynotes and executive training, David helps leaders: • Align teams around what matters most • Elevate accountability without burnout • Strengthen trust and communication • Execute under pressure • Sustain performance through growth and change This isn’t motivational theory. It’s a performance operating system leaders can apply immediately. David’s work has been trusted by leading organizations including: PepsiCo, Xerox, Caterpillar, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Yelp, Century 21, and Biogen. He has also earned recognition from leaders including Colin Powell, Bill Russell, Ethel Kennedy, and President George W. Bush. Excellence is not just part of David’s message - it is part of his lineage. Raised among elite competitors and national leaders, including three college presidents, he carries forward a legacy rooted in discipline, leadership, and impact. From underdog walk-on to championship competitor to trusted leadership voice, David Holloway teaches a principle forged through experience: When leaders raise their standards and create clarity, teams don’t just compete - they rise.

I'm Erez Yalon, VP of Cybersecurity Technology at Pentera. I work where security researchers meet real attackers. The idea that drives the work is simple: hack yourself before they do. Find what breaks under real attack, then fix it before an adversary gets the chance. Previously, I founded Checkmarx Zero, the offensive and defensive research division I grew into a team of brilliant people across four countries. The throughline hasn't changed: turning "interesting in theory" into "actionable in production." We track how modern attacks actually work, reproduce and analyze them end-to-end, and translate those findings into practical detections and guidance that developers and security teams can use at scale. I speak because I enjoy turning the messy, fast-moving reality of security into something people can apply immediately. My sessions are attacker-perspective, threat-model-driven, and usually include demos or tabletop walk-throughs, with clear takeaways for both engineers and leadership. No hype, no fear marketing, and no vendor pitch, just what breaks, how it breaks, and what to do about it. I'm the founder of the DEF CON AppSec Village and a co-leader of the OWASP API Security Project, along with other community initiatives. If you are building a track around AppSec, API security, software supply chain security, or AI security, I'd love to help your audience leave smarter. Topics I cover often: - AI security: LLM, MCP, and agentic app security, including real-world abuse patterns - API security: modern AppSec, with testing strategies that scale - Software supply chain attacks, malicious packages, and OSS risk reduction - CI/CD and build system attack surfaces Speaking engagements (newest to oldest): - BSides Porto 2026 - Porto, Portugal - FOST / apidays New York 2026 - New York City, NY, USA - DeveloperWeek 2026 / AI DevWorld 2026 - San Jose, CA, USA - Agentic AI Summit 2025 - New York City, NY, USA - Software Supply Chain Security Summit 2024 - Las Vegas, NV, USA - AI Risk Summit 2024 / CISO Forum 2024 - Half Moon Bay, CA, USA - Attack Surface Management Summit 2024 - Online - OWASP Global AppSec 2024 - Lisbon, Portugal - OWASP Netherlands 2024 - Online - NMFTA Guardians of the Gateway 2024 - Online - NMFTA Cybersecurity Conference 2024 - Cleveland, OH, USA - Open Source Summit North America 2023 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - API Specifications Conference 2022 - San Francisco, CA, USA - RSA Conference 2022 - San Francisco, CA, USA - RSA Conference 2021 - Online - OWASP Singapore 2021 - Singapore - RSA Conference 2020 - San Francisco, CA, USA - API World 2019 - San Jose, CA, USA - Global AppSec 2019 - Amsterdam, Netherlands - Global AppSec 2019 - Washington, DC, USA - OWASP AppSec US 2018 - San Jose, CA, USA - DEF CON 26 IoT Village 2018 - Las Vegas, NV, USA - BSides Las Vegas 2018 - Las Vegas, NV, USA - Nullcon 2018 - Goa, India - CyberWeek TLV 2018 - Tel Aviv, Israel - OWASP AppSec EU 2017 - Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK - OWASP AppSec IL 2016 - Rishon LeZion, Israel
