VP, Product Execution

Europe’s hidden defenders operate under constant pressure. Inside regulated mid-market organizations and regional MSSPs, lean SecOps teams are protecting hospitals, utilities, financial institutions, and public infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated threats. Our mission is to make them successful. Everything we build must reduce their friction, sharpen their visibility, and strengthen their confidence when incidents unfold. As a VP, Product Execution, you own the execution performance of guardsix's cybersecurity portfolio, including guardsix SIEM, NDR, Director, and SOAR.
