Allan Peters has over 20 years of executive-level sales experience at high-tech companies specializing in cybersecurity
Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of highly innovative cloud-based IT security and compliance solutions, has appointed Allan Peters as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Peters will be responsible for all aspects of the company's revenue performance through value-added offerings to customers. The CRO will coordinate global commercial strategy and partner organization to drive growth for Qualys.
“Allan's global leadership and proven track record in developing go-to-market strategies across multiple teams will enable him to optimally manage the commercial strategy, ensuring growth for the company,” he said Sumedh Thakar, President and CEO of Qualys. “Allan's expertise will be indispensable to help us evolve internationally and move the market away from single cybersecurity solutions towards an integrated cloud platform that allows customers to manage broader areas of security and compliance, thus consolidating their security infrastructure.”
Peters has twenty years of experience in sales at companies in the hi-tech and cybersecurity sectors. His deep knowledge of the enterprise market and cybersecurity has led him to hold senior positions in various public and private companies such as BigFix, Conga, SecurityFocus, CA, IBM and Symantec. Peters joined Qualys in May, leaving Trustwave – a leading cybersecurity company specializing in threat detection and response – where he served as CRO.
"No other company can help overcome the security and compliance challenges created by such a hostile threat landscape better than Qualys. Qualys cloud solutions provide complete visibility into the entire IT environment through a single pane of glass, updated in real time, from which companies can manage preventive risk mitigation, threat detection and response, and access remediation activities," said Peters. “I am excited to join Qualys and look forward to growing sales and partner capabilities as we accelerate Qualys' global growth.”
