Meet the team guiding you to FDA cybersecurity success.

Christian Espinosa is the Founder and CEO of Blue Goat Cyber, where he helps medical device manufacturers make MedTech cybersecurity and FDA premarket cybersecurity requirements clear, fast, and effective - without slowing innovation. A U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and veteran with decades of cybersecurity experience across defense, critical infrastructure, and MedTech, Christian is known for a practical, risk-based approach that turns complex expectations into execution-ready plans for engineering, QA, and regulatory teams.

Before launching Blue Goat Cyber, Christian built Alpine Security (founded in 2014) and sold the company in 2020. Not long after that exit, a serious health scare involving life-threatening blood clots made the mission intensely personal - reinforcing how much patients depend on medical technology working safely, reliably, and securely. In 2022, he founded Blue Goat Cyber to help manufacturers build security in from the start and move through FDA review with confidence. Under his leadership, Blue Goat has supported 250+ FDA medical device submissions with a 100% success rate.

Christian and the Blue Goat team support the full lifecycle of device cybersecurity - from secure product development and architecture reviews to threat modeling, cybersecurity risk management, and submission-ready evidence packages that hold up in FDA review. Their work commonly supports 510(k), PMA, and De Novo pathways, helping teams align technical controls to intended use, document security risk controls, and respond efficiently to cybersecurity questions during review.

Outside of work, Christian is an endurance athlete who has completed 24 Ironmans and climbed 2 of the 7 Summits. He's also working toward competing in Formula 4 racing and has traveled to 80+ countries - pursuits that mirror his belief in preparation, discipline, and calm under pressure.

Trevor Slattery is Chief Operating Officer at Blue Goat Cyber, leading the execution of cybersecurity strategies that help medical device manufacturers accelerate time to market - without compromising safety or compliance. With deep experience in application security, penetration testing, and secure product development, he ensures every engagement aligns with FDA cybersecurity expectations and real-world threat resilience.

Trevor specializes in secure system design, cybersecurity risk assessments, threat modeling, and mapping technical controls to regulatory frameworks supporting 510(k) and PMA submissions. He's known for clear, practical guidance - helping engineering and RA/QA teams close gaps, validate security, and enter FDA review with confidence.

Outside of work, Trevor is an avid freediver and rock climber - bringing focus, adaptability, and calm under pressure to every cybersecurity engagement.

Myles Kellerman is the Chief Technology Officer at Blue Goat Cyber, leading medical device and IoMT cybersecurity services and regulatory-aligned risk programs.

He also leads internal software development to improve testing automation, tooling, and delivery consistency, while supporting business development and industry engagement. Myles brings 18+ years in information technology, including 13+ years focused on cybersecurity.

Prior to Blue Goat Cyber, he served as a Principal Consultant on Cerberus Sentinel's Penetration Testing Team and led social engineering and penetration testing at Alpine Security. Earlier, he was a founding member of the Mobility Air Forces Distributed Training Center (MAF DTC) at Scott Air Force Base and later supported aircraft and embedded system cybersecurity for major defense contractors across commercial programs and Special Access Programs (SAPs).
