Leadership

Four people, four areas. Each one accountable for their part — and the founder is on the front line of the work.

How we lead

A small, senior team: each area is run by the person who does the work day to day, and the founder stays on the front line of the most critical engagements. Whoever signs off on the scope also answers for the result — accountability isn't delegated.

Gorka Gonzalo

Founder & CEO

Founded Hodeitek in 2023 and runs the company, after more than 8 years in pentesting, Red Team, OT/ICS auditing, and SOC leadership. A cybersecurity and AI expert, he sets the technical and product direction of HodeiShield and personally leads the most critical engagements — from defense strategy to applying AI in threat detection. He is the client's direct point of contact: whoever scopes the work also answers for the result.

Red Team

Jon Velardiez

Lead Pentester

Owns offensive engagements: red team and web, mobile, and infrastructure pentesting in critical environments. His hands-on certifications (OSCP, OSEP, OSWE, OSWP, CRTE, BSCP) are earned by attacking live environments in an exam, not by answering multiple-choice tests. He previously worked as a security analyst, pentester, security researcher, and instructor. Turns every technical finding into business-readable risk.
