ZeroFOX Appoints Two New Vice Presidents to Lead Global Sales Teams
Online, June 10, 2014 (Newswire.com) - ZeroFOX, The Social Risk Management Company™, today announced the appointment of two new vice presidents, Pano Paschaloudis and Stephen Weis, to augment the company's leadership team and further develop and execute its comprehensive sales vision to foster high volume revenue and dynamic sales growth. Paschaloudis, Vice President of Global Enterprise Sales, is an international cyber security sales leader with more than a decade of experience in the technology industry. Weis, Vice President of Defense & Intelligence Sales, comes to ZeroFOX with 25 years of success in software and information security sales and services for both enterprise and government customers. As the two newest members of the ZeroFOX leadership team, Paschaloudis and Weis will focus on building out a world-class, high-growth sales organization within the company.
ZeroFOX enables organizations to protect and grow their brand leveraging the benefits of social media while being mindful and diligent of its risks to reputation, human capital and enterprise security. Social media platforms are widely adopted communications platforms that represent one of the largest risks to business security and are completely invisible to management and security teams. These risks cannot be simply avoided, locked down, blocked or throttled. Organizations that take this threat seriously and implement a comprehensive risk strategy put their organizations in a position to protect their brand against fraud, social impersonations, blackmail, undue exposure and compromise, and other reputation or legal harm.
"ZeroFOX has an incredible amount of momentum in today's marketplace. We are constantly looking for new ways to help organizations of all shapes and sizes deal with the risks, dangers and pitfalls of social media in the enterprise while educating our customers about how to use their social assets in a way that aligns with their business and security goals," said James C. Foster, ZeroFOX CEO. "By bringing Pano and Steve on board to lead our commercial enterprise and government sales teams and by leveraging their talents and strategic insights, ZeroFOX will be able to help an increasing number of businesses and organizations in these markets manage and mitigate the risks of business in social ecosystems."
Both new vice presidents bring a wealth of sales experience and years of success to the ZeroFOX team. Paschaloudis is well known for creating highly successful business strategies that generate high volumes of revenue and growth across the enterprise. Prior to joining ZeroFOX, he led sales at McAfee, now Intel Security, as its top performer from 2005-2013. He was named the Global Sales person of the year in 2008 and 2011 and achieved more than 200% growth per year for the business in 2008, 2011 and 2013. Paschaloudis began his sales career at Cisco Systems, followed by Cabletron Systems and then McAfee. He received his BS in Criminal Justice Pre-Law from East Carolina University, graduating as an Alpha Phi Sigma National Honor graduate.
Weis is a recognized leading security strategist with proven execution of technology and risk management solutions that empower his enterprise and government clients' mission. He is an industry veteran with over 25 years of successful experience in software and information security sales and services. Weis is known for his consultative risk management expertise and deep technical knowledge of systems that integrate people, process and technology that empower his customers' vision. He too was with McAfee prior to joining ZeroFOX where he managed DoD accounts in Fort Meade, Maryland to include DISA and the U.S. Cyber Command. Weis's sales leadership earned him several prestigious awards throughout his career which included positions with GTE Network Services, Qwest Communications, Galaxy Computer Services, and Coresec Security among others. He studied Business Administration and Marketing at Franklin University's in Columbus, OH.
