SKYBOX SECURITY ANNOUNCES TOM
DOYLE AS PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Brings Over 25 Years Experience and
Proven Track Record Growing Enterprise Software Companies
SAN
JOSE, CA – May 2, 2007
– Skybox® Security, Inc., the leader in Security Risk Management (SRM), today announced the appointment of Tom Doyle
as president and chief executive officer. Mr. Doyle brings to Skybox
over 25 years of experience and leadership in both start-up and
established companies selling enterprise solutions. Mr. Doyle is a
proven leader who has built skilled teams and implemented winning
strategies resulting in dramatic revenue and profit growth.
“Skybox has a tremendous market
opportunity by solving a number of IT security and compliance business
issues found in most enterprises today,” said Mr. Doyle. “Our customers
tell us that these issues have a profound and material impact on their
business. Yet, they struggle to quantify risk and ensure control
compliance due to fragmented point solutions each with their own
function and management interface. These enterprises clearly need a
proactive risk-based approach in order to keep up with ever-increasing
complexity and constant change. They have turned to Skybox to help them
save millions annually by continuously measuring their security risk
profile, automating processes, and ensuring their security controls are
effective and compliant with regulatory mandates. I am excited to join
Skybox and help guide the growth of the company,” Mr. Doyle concluded.
Prior to joining Skybox Security, Tom
Doyle was President and Chief Operating Officer of Kana Software. Mr.
Doyle was Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Reasoning Inc.,
joining Reasoning in 1996 from Tandem Computers where he was Director of
North American Sales Operations. Before joining Tandem, Mr. Doyle
participated in the start-up operations and initial channel development
with Fortune Systems. Mr. Doyle received a Bachelor of Science degree
from the University of Missouri.
“Tom has clearly established himself as
an outstanding leader with a proven track record. We believe that
success is a direct result of leadership and Tom’s extensive experience
in building predictable and profitable business models will enable
Skybox to accelerate its growth as well as capitalize on the market
opportunity,” said Skybox founder and chief strategy officer Gidi Cohen.
