Jerald Ray

Jerald has an extensive technology and international business background due to his more than 25 years of experience in process engineering, consulting, and global finance in the U.S. and Asia Pacific Region. He began his career as a Production Research Engineer at the Konica Corporation in Tokyo, then served as a Technical Solutions Advisor for a large Japanese Disney affiliate, and later applied his advanced economics training as a Global Investment Analyst for the leasing division of the Industrial Bank of Japan (now known as Mizuho Bank). Leveraging his Japanese language skills, Jerald also worked as a Process and Optimization Consultant in Amsterdam for a joint venture between the Japan Management Association Consultancy (JMAC) and the Ford Motor Company.

In the U.S., Jerald provided international business risk analysis while at SAIC (Science Applications International Corpora on), and independently crafted Asian market entry strategies as a consultant to several U.S. IT security and related technology firms for the next dozen years before joining SecureAge as its COO in late 2018.

Jerald received his technical education in Operations Research Engineering from Cornell University, supplementing that with degrees in International Economics and Comparative Policy Analysis at the University of Florida and the University of California, San Diego.
