The channel player has appointed Jeremy Suddards as its chief revenue officer (CRO). He comes with an impressive CV that includes time working with Stack Digital, Tillon Group, Aptitude Software and HPE.

Six Degrees CEO Vince DeLuca said the appointment came at an interesting time for the business: “Six Degrees is strategically repositioning itself to capitalise on current market opportunities. In these unprecedented times, businesses are increasingly leveraging cloud technologies to grow, navigating cyber threats, and harnessing the power of data and AI.

“Jeremy’s results-driven leadership and passion for growth, combined with his extensive background in both large global corporations and high-growth businesses across the technology sector, make him ideally suited to engage with our clients, understand their challenges, and deliver the exceptional solutions that Six Degrees offers.”

The digital comms solutions player has promoted Andrew Jacobs to managing director. He will be tasked with growing the business and taking more of a slice of the contact centre sector. He has proven himself a strong leader in his role as chief architect and will now be reporting directly into Business Systems CEO Mike Wardell.

“With more than three decades in the telecoms and contact centre sectors, Andrew’s extensive experience positions him perfectly to lead Business Systems into our next phase of development and growth, in line with our goals,” said Wardell.

In his role as CTO, Preminger will lead Claroty’s research group, Team82, while driving innovation across the company’s products and services. Preminger is an experienced cyber security researcher who founded Claroty’s  research group Team82.

“Building and leading Team82 has been an incredible journey, and I look forward to furthering this work through product innovation and strategic growth. I am committed to aligning our technology decisions with business priorities and ensuring our solutions evolve to meet the unique needs of our customers while progressing our mission to secure the cyber-physical systems that underpin our lives,” he said.

Sysdig

The cloud security player has welcomed Gary Olson as chief revenue officer (CRO) and Crendal Kear as chief business officer (CBO).

“I spent my first 100 days at Sysdig traveling the world to meet with customers, and one thing was clear: they love our products. The rapid adoption of Sysdig Sage, the fastest in our history, is a strong signal of the massive opportunity ahead,” said William Welch, Sysdig CEO.

“I’m focused on building a world-class executive team with public company experience and a commitment to operational excellence. Reuniting with Gary and Crendal from our time at Zscaler, as well as appointing a new CMO and CISO last year, positions Sysdig to drive innovation in cloud security as we push toward $250M ARR and beyond.”
