With over 42 years in sales leadership experience combined, Brant Kennedy and Scott Collins will accelerate business growth  

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cylera, a leading IoT security and intelligence company, continues to gain momentum with two new executive hires, and new international offices to help Cylera capitalize on rapidly expanding sales demand in healthcare and other critical infrastructure. 

Brant Kennedy joins as senior vice president of global sales, and Scott Collins, as vice president of global channels and alliances. These appointments come on the heels of recent office expansions in the U.K. and Spain, and exceptional customer success in the U.K. 

In their new roles, Kennedy and Collins will work closely together to drive Cylera’s channel go-to-market programs, expand alliance relationships, accelerate international growth, and further advance business operations. 

“We’re seeing increased demand by those who need to manage the cyber risks inherent in healthcare IoT and medical device (IoMT) security,” said Timur Ozekcin, CEO and co-founder of Cylera. “Both Brant and Scott have sales leadership experience with high growth companies such as ours. We’re excited to have this much talent in place.”  

Kennedy joins Cylera, having served as chief revenue officer at Blue Hexagon. He also held previous positions at Big Switch Networks, Avanan and ForeScout Technologies, where he led multinational sales and channel teams, selling to enterprise, commercial and public sector markets.  

Collins has 20 years experience building channel teams and programs. He comes to Cylera from leadership roles at cyber security startup companies like Zscalar, FireEye, and Vectra AI, where he led early stage channels and alliances.  

“It’s a great time to join Cylera, and the opportunity before us and our channel partners is worldwide,” said Kennedy, SVP of global sales at Cylera. “I appreciate the close relationships we’ve built with our customers and partners. I know Scott will be working right alongside, helping us to accelerate our channel partner program on every level.”
