Following a comprehensive nationwide search, San Antonio was
chosen for its large pool of talent and robust support from the
local business community, represented by greater:SATX. This new
chapter comes after the resounding success of its operations in
Singapore, where the company, operating as Red Alpha, served
prestigious partners like Accenture, ST Engineering and more.
“NukuDo embodies a private sector solution to a widespread
industry challenge," said Dean Gefen, CEO of NukuDo. “Our model,
which integrates training directly with employment, has been proven
in Asia and we are excited to replicate this success in North
America, starting with our new headquarters in San Antonio. Our
approach not only prepares candidates for immediate employment but
equips them to play pivotal roles in securing digital
infrastructures at this critical time."
NukuDo’s focus is on producing the highest quality cybersecurity
experts that fill the workforce needs of companies in San Antonio,
Texas, and across the United States. This distinction underscores
NukuDo’s commitment to addressing the talent gap in the
cybersecurity industry.
This initiative will drive significant advancements in local
tech workforce development and cybersecurity training, not only
benefiting San Antonio and its surrounding areas but also having a
nationwide impact.
Jenna Saucedo-Herrera, President & CEO of greater:SATX,
expressed her enthusiasm: "greater:SATX is thrilled to welcome
NukuDo as they establish their North American headquarters in San
Antonio. Their decision to invest here highlights our commitment to
growth and innovation in the cybersecurity sector. Despite
competition from major cities like New York and Tampa, San Antonio
emerged as the ideal choice. Our strong business community, diverse
and skilled workforce, and effective cost of living make our region
highly attractive. With NukuDo joining us, San Antonio is set to
showcase its unparalleled support for cyber firms looking to expand
and thrive locally."
“NukuDo is a great addition to the San Antonio cybersecurity
ecosystem. Their innovative approach and desire to add value to San
Antonio fits perfectly within the community found at Geekdom,” said

entrepreneurial hub where NukuDo now offices. “I am excited to see
the next generation of cyber talent coming out of this program to
support our local cybersecurity companies.”
