John D. Sileo

John Sileo lost everything — his multi-million-dollar business, life savings, and two years of young fatherhood — to cybercriminals who stole his identity and used it to commit a series of felonies. Wrongly implicated, in financial ruin, and facing jail time, John rose from the digital rubble with a mission: to turn his deeply personal loss into a powerful force for good.

Today, he’s a Hall of Fame keynote speaker, award-winning author, and trusted cybersecurity expert to organizations like the Pentagon, Amazon, and Schwab. John has appeared on 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper and in the WSJ to share his message of security and resilience. One of his true-life stories even inspired a Hollywood blockbuster film.

John is the CEO of The Sileo Group, a frequent board advisor, and a Harvard honors graduate. But his accomplishments have always taken a back seat to the time he spends with the family and friends who helped him turn life’s lemons into something far sweeter and more fulfilling.
