About Guy Gortt

Guy Fortt is a purpose-driven leader shaped by lived experience, service, and an unwavering commitment to resilience. From witnessing the brutal tragic murder of his girlfriend in 1983 to being deeply affected by the national trauma of the rescue and recovery of 9/11, his life has been marked by moments that demanded strength, reflection, and action.

Rather than turning away from hardship, Guy leaned into it developing a mindset rooted in preparedness, responsibility, and leadership under pressure. His connection to emergency response, the fire service, and real-time 9-1-1 environments reflects a genuine calling to stand where lives are changed in an instant and where calm, compassion, and decisive action make all the difference. At the center of his journey is a guiding belief in resiliency, the human capacity to withstand trauma, adapt to powerful forces, and emerge stronger with purpose.

That same philosophy now drives his work as an entrepreneur, innovator, and emerging leader in technology. Guy channels resilience into building systems that protect people and organizations before crisis strikes, with a growing focus on cybersecurity and the critical disciplines of AI governance, risk, and compliance in business continuity. He is committed to helping institutions prepare, respond, and recover in an increasingly complex world bridging real-world emergency experience with modern technological safeguards. Whether serving communities on the front lines or strengthening businesses behind the scenes, his path reflects a consistent mission: to transform adversity into preparedness, preparedness into protection, and protection into lasting impact.
