Authomize, the first Cloud Identity and Access Security Platform, announced that B2B technology pioneer René Bonvanie has joined its Board of Directors to drive the company’s scale for serving Fortune 500 customers.
Bonvanie, the CMO Emeritus of Palo Alto Networks, brings a distinguished track record of success among the giants of the industry. He helped build Palo Alto Networks into a cybersecurity powerhouse as its CMO for over a decade. Bonvanie made his mark driving innovation at Oracle for 10 years as a VP. His career also includes stints with SAP, Salesforce, Veritas Software, and Serena Software.
“Authomize’s approach goes deeper and wider than anyone else in Cloud Identity and Access Security,” says Bonvanie. “The company understands today’s and tomorrow’s threats so its customers know they can stay ahead of attackers. I’m excited to help Authomize share this message widely and in new ways as it sets the pace for the industry.”
