Lewis Pope
Head Nerd, Sec Ops
Lewis started his career in the MSP channel, spending six years as a System Administrator, Manager of Service Delivery, and IR Lead with a break/fix operation that eventually matured to a full MSP. Lewis joined N‑able in 2018 as a Sales Engineer, and in 2021 became a member of the Head Nerds team.
As a Head Nerd at N‑able, Lewis is focused on cybersecurity, helping MSPs overcome security and operational challenges by providing education, training, and advocacy for implementation of practical security controls, proper risk management, and incident response. His primary goal is helping MSPs start the cybersecurity maturation process that is needed to contend with modern risks and the evolving threat landscape, as well as finding opportunities for growth.
In his downtime, you can find him hosting gameshows at sci-fi conventions, tinkering with microcontrollers that have way too many LEDs, or reading endless threat-intelligence feeds. He’s also very proud of his daughter, but if we got into all of the reasons for that we’d be here for quite a while.
