New Chief Marketing Officer strengthens Vectra AI’s leadership team

Vectra AI, the provider of AI-driven cyber threat detection and response for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises, has announced the appointment of Tommy Jenkins as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).

Jenkins has over 20 years of experience in technology and has developed successful go-to-market strategies and scaled global demand generation engines. Jenkins joins Vectra after a period of exceptional growth and will play a critical role in expanding the company’s global footprint.

“As the volume and scale of cyberattacks continues to grow, most organizations are rapidly increasing their investment in threat detection and response controls to protect themselves from malicious actors,” said Hitesh Sheth, president, and CEO at Vectra AI. “This has resulted in the rapid expansion of our global operations in recent months. We are excited to welcome Tommy to our executive leadership team as he will be instrumental in driving Vectra’s next phase of growth. His vast marketing experience will take our global go-to-market strategy to new directions and deepen our engagement with existing and prospective customers.”

Jenkins, as CMO, will be in charge of all of Vectra’s strategic marketing initiatives, including increasing company growth, driving global brand recognition through creative storytelling, and serving as an innovation catalyst by implementing robust marketing technology capabilities.

Jenkins most recently served as Veeam’s Acting CMO, where he developed innovative marketing strategies to drive revenue and pipeline growth, as well as strong global brand recognition. He has also held executive positions at Red Hat, AvidXchange, and SevOne, where he was responsible for the companies’ long-term growth.

“As organizations shift more of their applications and data to the cloud, cyber attackers have refined their tactics and techniques, finding new avenues of entry and more ways to move discreetly inside an organization’s environment,” said Jenkins. “In fact, how, when and where most attackers get in remains largely unknown. As a company, Vectra is uniquely positioned and recognized as a leader in solving this problem. I am thrilled to join the team during a critical point in the company’s growth and looking forward to expanding our global operations and furthering our successful market penetration.”
