Joe Levy will step in as interim CEO of Sophos, succeeding Kris Hagerman who led the company for 12 years.
Hagerman, who grew Sophos' revenue to over $1bn and expanded its customer base from 150,000 to 580,000 globally, will serve as an advisor until April 1, 2024.
He said: “Joe and I have worked closely together for over nine years, and he has been pivotal in leading our product, services and technology initiatives that have underpinned Sophos’ growth.”
Levy brings almost three decades of cybersecurity expertise, having been actively engaged with the channel since the mid-1990s.
He adds: “Our immediate goal is to work with our partners to further expand our collective ability to secure organizations that are unprotected or need stronger cyber defences.”
