His impact is evident in the daily lives of people across the world by protecting their most secure information behind the scenes. Consumers who have traveled by land, sea, or air, used a credit card to purchase goods and services, used kiosks or global payment systems, utilized smart phone technology, purchased gift cards, received pharmaceutical information, provided patient data, gambled on-line, banked with major institutions, or provided financial information for lending, there is a significant chance that Bell may have had an impact with the protection of their data.

His Fortune 500 clients have never experienced a security breach as a result of his attention to detail, knowing the tough questions to ask, using investigative methods to get proper infrastructure facts, identifying enterprise weaknesses, and utilizing a natural instinct to understand the entire enterprise from top to bottom understanding that securing sensitive data impacts every department. Bell credits his success to the premise that trust & credibility must be established with other executives through accountability and being culturally sensitive to business members across the globe.

One of Bell’s top projects included finishing a projected $8M project for a Texas Public Utility that came in at $2M, due to Bell’s innovative cost cutting by co-designing a SAP tokenization solution that became a new SAP offering.
