“Every day we read about organizations who have been disrupted by cybersecurity incidents impacting lives and livelihoods. The need for simpler, more effective protection and cyber resilience is clear,” said Peter Bauer, Mimecast’s chief executive officer. “We have an opportunity to contribute at an even greater scale through product development and growth, and David will help us get there.”
Bauer continued “David joins at an exciting time in Mimecast’s journey and brings leadership and operational expertise to help build on our success as a cloud native cybersecurity company and develop our next generation of products and technologies.”

“This is a tremendous opportunity for me to join the Mimecast executive team and help take the company to next level,” said Raissipour. “Organizations are communicating and collaborating in new ways, expanding security risk beyond email.
