Cybersecurity company Illumio has appointed Karl Van den Bergh as its new Chief Marketing Officer.
Van den Bergh will lead global marketing efforts spanning product, brand, and growth marketing. His focus will include increasing awareness of Illumio’s breach containment platform. He aims to make the company indispensable for organisations looking to prevent cyber disasters.
Van den Bergh brings over 25 years of leadership experience driving innovation, building market-leading brands, and accelerating cloud growth at global technology companies.
He has extensive experience in building, scaling, and growing cloud businesses across multiple technology companies. Most recently, he served as CMO at Gigamon, where he spearheaded a transformative marketing strategy that positioned the company as a leader in deep observability, focusing on eliminating security blind spots across the hybrid multi-cloud, driving significant growth, and boosting brand recognition.
Prior to Gigamon, Van den Bergh was the CMO at DataStax, and general manager of analytics cloud at Jaspersoft and then at TIBCO.
“Karl is a world-class business and marketing leader with a deep understanding of how to align strategy and execution to drive market demand,” said Illumio CEO Andrew Rubin. “As organisations face mounting pressure to maintain resilience in an assume breach world, Karl’s cloud expertise will be invaluable in elevating the role Illumio ZTS plays in the hybrid and multi-cloud security landscape.”
“I’m excited to join a company with such a compelling mission and proven ability to help organisations protect what matters most,” said Van den Dergh. “I look forward to amplifying Illumio’s story and driving our next phase of growth.”
