Former Palo Alto Networks Sales Leader Brings Experience Growing
Cyber Security Businesses in Latin America; Chartered with Increasing
Privileged Account Security Adoption Across the Region
NEWTON, Mass. & PETACH TIKVAH, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 26, 2017--
CyberArk
(NASDAQ: CYBR),
the company that protects organizations from cyber
attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced the appointment of Adam McCord as vice president of sales for
Latin America.
In this new role, McCord is responsible for expanding the regional sales
team and partner network to improve access to the CyberArk
Privileged Account Security Solution across Latin America. He will
also help create greater awareness about the importance of prioritizing
privileged account security as a proactive enterprise security solution
to combat advanced
threats.
“Adam’s understanding of Latin American business culture, track record
for recruiting and leading over-performing sales teams, and ability to
nurture valuable partner networks make him an important addition to our
team,” said Ron Zoran, vice president sales, Americas at CyberArk. “As
we work to expand regional market share, Adam understands the business
opportunity for CyberArk and is enthusiastic about helping customers
adopt privileged account security as a critical, measurable layer of
security to protect against cyber attacks.”
McCord brings 17 years of sales and channel experience in Latin America,
where he has demonstrated the ability to establish strong relationships
with business leaders and drive market awareness and revenues for
organizations seeking to establish and grow their business in the
region. As regional director of Latin America and Caribbean for Palo
Alto Networks, McCord launched the company’s regional operations, built
up the sales organization and established strong channel and distributor
partnerships, consistently overachieving sales targets. Most recently,
McCord was regional director of Latin America for ForeScout where he
on-boarded dozens of new partners and drove new business across
financial, retail and government sectors.
“Privileged account security is rising in importance for Latin American
organizations, with conversations about privilege-related risk at the
endpoint and in the cloud becoming more frequent. There is a significant
opportunity to further educate about the damaging effects of attacks
that exploit privileged accounts and help organizations that want to
evolve from compliance to risk-based security strategies,” said McCord.
“Joining CyberArk is an incredible opportunity to build on the
relationships I’ve established with security leaders in Latin America
and deliver CyberArk’s critical layer of security to businesses in the
region.”
McCord also worked with F5 Networks in multiple sales and leadership
roles, most recently serving as vice president of Latin America and
Caribbean. He previously served as the company’s country manager for
Mexico.
