Bangalore, October 2023: Cymulate, the leader in exposure management and security validation, today announced the expansion of its sales leadership team with the appointment of industry veterans Mikko Jarvinen as Vice President of Sales, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and Ben Fitzpatrick as Vice President of Sales, Asia Pacific (APAC). In their respective roles, Jarvinen and Fitzpatrick will be responsible for driving strategic growth sales and overseeing teams in their prospective regions.
“As Cymulate continues to bolster its profile globally, we are pleased to have experienced leaders like Mikko and Ben join our team,” said Eyal Wachsman, CEO and co-founder of Cymulate. “They bring a tremendous level of expertise to their roles and will undoubtedly help Cymulate further accelerate our growth within the APAC and EMEA markets. We look forward to this next step in our company’s future and to the contributions they both will undoubtedly make.”
Mikko Jarvinen joins Cymulate after serving as Vice President of Global Sales for WithSecure, where he led efforts to grow, scale, and expand the company’s managed security services on a global level. His past experience includes executive leadership positions with F-Secure Corporation, Trustwave, and McAfee. Jarvinen brings over 25 years of experience in sales, scaling businesses, and building and leading winning teams. He is also the co-founder and partner of Alchemy Associates, which seeks to help early-stage start-ups further in their journey.
“I’ve watched from afar as Cymulate grew to become the leader in proactive cybersecurity,” said Jarvinen. “I’m eager to join the team of innovators and continue to drive the market for exposure management. It’s all about guiding our customers to understand their exposure to cyber threats and, with that, drive and prioritize mitigation activities in their environment.”
Ben Fitzpatrick joins Cymulate with more than 20 years of experience in the security industry. He specializes in sales leadership, revenue strategy creation, and building high-performing, effective teams. In his most recent role, Ben served as the SVP of Sales at NCC Group in the security services space. His past experience includes executive leadership roles within Claroty, Mandiant, FireEye, and McAfee.
He is also a co-founder and managing partner of Marketology Consultancy, where he has helped early-stage tech companies with their marketing and sales GTM.
“As an industry, we need to move away from the traditional approach of point-in-time scans and manual security testing and embrace a more holistic approach, which includes exposure management, security validation, and automation,” Fitzpatrick said. “This new approach helps security teams across the globe effectively measure and track the strength of their security posture continually, as well as identify ways they can proactively improve it. After working in this industry for over two decades, I feel Cymulate is uniquely positioned to address this problem for both its customers and partners alike.”
