About Me
I’m Jonathon Powell, Principal of Critical Outcomes. With nearly 20 years in the security industry, I’ve seen where clients are left vulnerable. My loyalty is to you—not to a manufacturer’s quota or an integrator’s margin. I built Critical Outcomes to be your fiercely independent advocate, cutting through the noise to deliver secure, scalable, and future-ready systems.
