Meet Sean O’Rourke
The Biz Stuff…
Since joining Combs & Company in 2016, Sean has become a jack of all trades. His original – and still primary – role was cyber liability consultant, leveraging his 20+ years in technology to help companies deal with the aftereffects of a cyber incident. He then assumed the roles of CFO and business development for the commercial division, which tapped into the skills he built running the tech firm he co-founded. And while he’s not responsible for the day-to-day management of the company’s IT, he does keep everyone updated on the latest cyber threats and how we can avoid becoming another victim.
The Fun Stuff…
Sean approaches life the same as business – he’s always looking for something that strikes his curiosity. This runs the gamut from sports, to science, to comic books, to history, to food, to… well, just name something. In fact, it might be easier to name a subject that doesn’t interest him.
Sean is still proud to announce Philadelphia as his place of birth and he’s a diehard Philly sports fan with one massive exception – go 49’ers (Joe “Cool” Montana)! As a child, Sean dreamed of being a professional athlete, it didn’t matter which sport, or Batman. While neither has come to pass, yet, that hasn’t stopped Sean from indulging in both passions, frequently competing in endurance events and pick-up games and still consuming Batman media. Sean is also a big believer in paying if forward, so he’s a CrossFit (L2) coach and runs endurance classes for his local CrossFit affiliate.
Professional Experience
Sean O’Rourke serves as both CFO and Cyber Liability Consultant at Combs & Company, bringing more than 20 years of technology and business experience to the team. Since joining the firm in 2016, he has helped clients navigate cyber-related risks and better understand the impact of digital threats on their businesses. His background in technology, combined with experience running a company of his own, gives him a practical and analytical approach to finance, growth, and risk management.
Cyber & Business Insight
Sean plays a unique role within Combs & Company by bridging financial strategy, commercial growth, and cyber liability expertise. In addition to supporting the firm’s financial operations and business development efforts, he helps keep the team informed about evolving cyber threats and risk considerations. His broad perspective allows him to support clients and colleagues with clear, thoughtful insight in a constantly changing business environment.
Background & Interests
Originally from Philadelphia, Sean is a lifelong learner with interests that span sports, science, history, comic books, food, and more. He brings that same curiosity and energy into both his professional and personal life. Outside of work, he enjoys endurance events, pickup sports, and coaching as a CrossFit Level 2 trainer, where he also leads endurance classes for his local affiliate.
