Cybersecurity vendor Coro has appointed three executives to lead EMEA sales, product strategy, and research and development as the company pursues international and channel growth.
New executives take charge of EMEA, product, and R&D
Among the hires are:
- Ingo Schaefer as Vice President of Sales, EMEA
- Dor Avrahami as Vice President of Product
- Itzik Schacher as Vice President of Research and Development
“We’re thrilled to welcome Ingo, Dor, and Itzik to the Coro leadership team during this period of explosive growth,” said Joe Sykora, CEO at Coro.
“Their combined expertise in international sales, product strategy, and engineering leadership will be instrumental as we scale our global presence and continue innovating on behalf of our customers and partners. These additions to our executive team further position us to continue delivering the automated, comprehensive cybersecurity that Lean IT teams need to protect their organizations efficiently.”
Schaefer will lead Coro’s EMEA channel expansion
Schaefer will be tasked with leading Coro’s strategic channel expansion across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He most recently served as Coro’s Regional Director DACH and has experience in international sales leadership and channel development.
Prior to joining Coro, Schaefer held senior leadership positions at Check Point Software and Proofpoint.
Product and research and development hires target AI-enabled security
Avrahami will lead the organization’s product strategy and execution across Coro’s cybersecurity platform. He brings more than 16 years of experience across AI, data platforms, and enterprise software.
Further, Avrahami will focus on advancing AI-powered cybersecurity and delivering products to make enterprise-grade security accessible to organizations of every size.
Shachar will lead the teams building Coro’s cybersecurity platform and set the company’s technology and innovation strategy.
Shachar brings over 15 years of software and engineering leadership experience, including leadership roles at Rekor and Redis.
Continued channel growth for Coro
The appointments follow Coro’s April hiring of Lindsey Westbrook as vice president of marketing, adding another executive with extensive cybersecurity channel experience to its leadership team.
Taken together, the hires indicate that Coro is building the sales, marketing, product, and engineering leadership needed to expand its partner-led business.
Schaefer’s promotion will be particularly relevant to EMEA partners as Coro works to broaden its channel presence across the region.
