Bochum, Germany and Boston, MA – April 16, 2020 – VMRay, a provider of automated malware analysis and detection solutions, today announced the addition of two cybersecurity veterans to its executive ranks with the appointment of former Kaspersky Lab Managing Director, Ilijana Vavan as its new Chief Sales Officer as well as Christopher Martin who joins VMRay from Symantec as its Vice President of Customer Success. These two new hires reflect the company’s rapid growth in the market and the broad adoption of its suite of threat analysis and detection solutions, coming on the heels of a $10 million Series B round of funding that was closed in late 2019.
“Despite the scores of security tools currently available, malware and other advanced threats continue to wreak havoc on enterprise organizations as they struggle to distinguish the signal of legitimate threats from the endless stream of security alerts, which is precisely what our platform was built for,” said Carsten Willems, co-founder and CEO of VMRay. “Ilijana and Christopher are both exceptionally well qualified in their respective fields and bring a wealth of experience that will be crucial in helping us meet our aggressive business goals in 2020 and beyond.”
