No Password Required: The Co-Founder, CEO and CISO of BEMO, Who Blocks Employees From Weekend Work
September 15, 2026
In this episode, Bruno traces his path from France to Microsoft and eventually to BEMO’s 2018 pivot into cybersecurity. He explains why CMMC compliance is like having a child, why small and midsize companies underestimate cyberattacks, and why AI agents need strong governance. He also shares why he blocks employees from working on weekends.
Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Jerrell talk with Bruno about the day Bill Gates canceled a product he had spent a year building, watching Microsoft enter BEMO’s market in 2012, and what Bruno learned from working alongside his son, Brandon, for eight years before Brandon started his own company.
In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Bruno reveals his favorite French pastry, recalls watching France defeat Brazil with his Brazilian fiancée at the 1998 World Cup, and tells the story of the family intervention that ended his flying lessons.
