Strengthens Customer Service Delivery, Marketing and Business Management Leadership
LONDON – Alert Logic, the leading provider of Security-as-a-Service solutions, announced new executives have joined the company’s leadership team to accelerate adoption of the company’s security platform and analyst services that protect organisations at a lower cost with less effort and faster time to value. Sydna Kelley joins as Senior Vice President of Customer Success & Technology Operations, Matt Selheimer as Chief Marketing Officer, Sheila Flaherty as Chief Legal Officer, and Tim Alguire as Chief Financial Officer.
The executive appointments will strengthen customer service delivery, marketing, and business management to help organisations simplify and slash the cost, effort, and risk of security and compliance. Alert Logic provides customers with best-in-class threat protection and streamlined compliance combined with proactive analyst services.
“With this new leadership team, Alert Logic is building on our position as the leader in Security-as-a-Service to capitalize on the multi-billion-dollar market opportunity for companies seeking to manage cyber risk,” said Bob Lyons, Alert Logic CEO. “Threats to technology assets and reputations have never been greater. Increasingly, organisations are looking for complete solutions that offer both leading product capabilities and proactive expert services for security and IT compliance teams who lack the staff and skills to address today’s threats. The addition of these proven leaders to our executive team will enable Alert Logic to scale our capabilities and directly address the needs of security buyers today and in the future.”
