What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in a high-growth cybersecurity business, focusing on strategic growth and innovation.

I am a seasoned sales and go-to-market leader with over 26 years of experience in the enterprise cybersecurity sector across EMEA, at VP level for 18 years. My career has been marked by significant achievements, including recently delivering a remarkable 311% year-over-year revenue growth at Cyberbit and consistently breaking sales records at Anomali. I have a proven track record of building successful teams and executing effective GTM strategies, having scaled a $33 million EMEA business from the ground up at Skybox and grown and led teams of up to 42 reports. My expertise lies in aligning sales, channel, and marketing efforts to drive growth within an integrated GTM strategy and establishing strong CISO ecosystems.

As a trusted advisor to G2000 companies and government entities across EMEA, I have developed a deep network within the cybersecurity space, participating in high-level discussions and influencing cyber defence strategies across NATO and Middle Eastern countries. I am also a regular keynote speaker and thought leader, contributing to discussions on cybersecurity challenges and solutions. My commitment to excellence is evident in my ability to consistently close six and seven-figure deals in top tier organizations, while mentoring top sales talent and evolving and scaling channel ecosystems.

I am now seeking my next big challenge, ready to lead a high-growth cybersecurity business to its next milestone. My goal is to leverage my extensive experience and strategic vision to drive impactful results and foster innovation in the cybersecurity landscape.
