ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Dr. Anita D'Amico is one of the few innovators who have completed the journey from an idea to prototyping and early sales, and then crossed the chasm into a successful commercial product.
As founder and CEO of Code Dx, Inc. she grew the business from a six-month research project into a venture-funded commercial supplier of B2B application security software, and eventual acquisition by a large publicly traded company.
As a Vice President at Synopsys, Anita led the Products team responsible for the product management, engineering and research behind a $400M/year AppSec product portfolio. She went on to lead their software supply chain security and SBOM business strategy, as well as the product strategy for the secure adoption of Artificial Intelligence in the software development lifecycle.
​
Anita started Cotopaxi Consulting to offer services to other entrepreneurs and startup investors who wish to commercialize nascent technology into usable and widely-adopted products.
