Bryant Harrison is the founder and CEO of Seventh Wall, a cybersecurity and managed IT company that has spent years not only protecting businesses from tech failure and attacks, but also performing remediation for businesses held for ransom by hackers.
It all started by accident in 2004 when Bryant was completely broke and trying to finish his cognitive science degree at UVA. He began fixing neighbor’s computers to earn cash and found that his lack of formal tech training meant no "speaking geek" to clients. This was a huge advantage. Soon, the new business (called QuickFix at the time), grew quickly in popularity by word-of-mouth. Now, Seventh Wall has clients nationwide, but most of them in Central Virginia.
