YourSix Leadership

Eric Styles is one of the Founders of YourSix and serves as the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Eric leads the company’s strategy and coordination between Executive Leadership and the Board of Directors, while maintaining a keen awareness of the competitive landscape along with the company’s risks, opportunities, and alliances.

Eric’s technology career began in the US Army while serving six years on active duty, including two combat tours post-9/11. He was trained on various next-gen technologies for both peacetime and wartime and credits these experiences for his desire to both lead and serve.

Over the following decade, Eric was immersed in the world of business technology, advising organizations through multiple technology shifts from on-premises to cloud. This led to Eric’s journey as an entrepreneur when he started his own technology solutions provider agency in 2011. In 2015, Eric joined forces with Matt Goldman and Jacob Hengel to form YourSix with a clear vision for transforming an aging physical security industry.

Eric’s interests outside of YourSix are quite simple: family, travel, and sports. He and his wife of 20+ years have raised three daughters together. Over the last 16 years, Eric has been proud to coach his daughter’s soccer teams as part of the Minnesota youth soccer landscape. Born and raised in New York, Eric prides himself as a NY Giants and NY Yankees fan, but he’s even more passionate about US Soccer.

Jacob Hengel’s preparation for his role at the helm of YourSix technology began with the countless companies he assisted with Enterprise Network and Technology initiatives for more than a decade before helping found the company. During that time, he played multiple roles that prepared him for technology leadership, from serving as principal architect for cloud solutions to hands-on experience in sales and sales engineering, network security engineering, and project management.

Today, as YourSix’s Chief Technology Officer, Jacob develops the company’s growth strategy with a focus on delivering innovative technology to the world. He oversees the product portfolio and advises Executive Leadership on all aspects of technology decision-making.

When he’s not discovering technological innovations, Jacob enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids, whether they’re building projects or at their cabin by the lake, as well as volunteering for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

The greatest trend in Laurie Goldman’s background is her ability to bring together people, processes, and technology to deliver strong organizational results. After nearly 30 years of serving as a customer advocate across numerous B2B technology companies, Laurie brought her relationship-savvy business acumen to lead the high-performing operational team at YourSix.

Today, as YourSix’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Experience Officer, Laurie’s foremost focus is on ensuring a positive experience for every YourSix customer. She is responsible for translating the company’s vision into operational strategy and financial success, while directing efficient daily operations and designing policies that foster a rich and rewarding culture across the company.

Even with relentless responsibilities, Laurie finds plenty of time for her husband of 36 years, their three children, and two granddaughters. She is active in serving her community with the Ronald McDonald House, Feed my Starving Children, and Second Harvest Heartland. And, she still finds time to enjoy skiing, hiking, photography, and that Minnesota lake life.

Christine Wetton knows the entrepreneurial life because she lived it as a small business owner for over 20 years. Her success as one of the Midwest’s early VoIP programmers, and her understanding of the complex regulatory landscape, gave her countless opportunities to deliver beyond customer expectations even as technological evolution continued to accelerate.

Today, as YourSix’s Chief Risk & Compliance Officer, Christine is responsible for the company’s privacy and compliance programs, including all daily operations, development, implementation, and maintenance of these critical policies and procedures.

A Minnesota native, Christine enjoys time with her family, including her four sons, their wives, and nine grandchildren. When she’s not spoiling grandkids, she’s likely traveling, reading, or helping the Salvation Army’s Coats for Kids program.

Ken Worcester has proven his sixth sense for sales leadership through a 25-year track record of exceeding goals within some of the most competitive technology markets across the US.

Today, as YourSix’s VP, Channel Sales, Ken designs and leads the company’s Indirect Channel Sales program, including sales, sales engineering, and support. His background in creating profitable cultures is a key part of how he executes on the Executive Leadership team’s strategic plans for market expansion and product development simultaneously.

Mike King knows the security industry. His 30+ years of experience in the industry include pivotal roles leading cloud initiatives for global manufacturers. In that time, Mike has held management or ownership roles across every aspect of the security business, from manufacturing to distribution to partners.

Today, as YourSix’s Director, Distribution Sales, Mike develops and executes on the company’s sales strategy for the traditional security world, bringing together his combination of solid tech skills and keen business sense to drive results efficiently and inspire achievement among his team.

Having lived all over the United States, Mike is happy to be back in his childhood state of Oklahoma, along with his wife of 27 years and their four children. He serves actively in Volunteers of America, as a youth sports coach in JTA, and with Mission Under the Bridge. He will remain an avid Oklahoma Sooners fan for life, as well as a golfer, fisherman, and general outdoorsman.
