Alan Wallace Biography

After many years on the radio on stations like WSIX, KNIX, Z107 and even with a short stint as a foreign correspondent for UPI, I made the jump to public relations. In 1995 I became co-founder and CEO of InterActive Agency (the first advertising and public relations firm focused on the Internet). iAgency's clients included the Dodgers, Warner Bros, AOL, Happy Puppy, Engage Games Online, the Palace etc.

In 2000, I sold iAgency to my business partner and joined Live365 as the companies VP of marketing and public relations. It soon became the #1 Internet Radio Network.

Since 2003, which also includes some wonderful years @ MeziMedia (which was acquired by ValueClick), I developed an expertise in cyber-security which also became my career focus. This all began for me at Panda Security as its VP of Public Relations. I have served with Trend Micro as its company’s Global Senior Public Relations Manager focused on Mobile and Cyber Security as well as Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Division as a Senior Manager focused on the MAPP program, SIR reports and Conferences such as Blackhat and CanSecWest.

Currently, I am the Chief Communications Officer for Cosmic Wire (www.cosmicwire.com)
