REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anomali, a leader in intelligence-driven extended detection and response (XDR) cybersecurity solutions, today announced that Sean Foster has been appointed to the position of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Foster is a seasoned executive with a history of exceeding revenue objectives, building winning teams, and driving new customer acquisition and successful adoption while creating long-standing business partnerships across the ecosystem. He joins Anomali during a time of high demand and rapid global expansion.
“Sean brings a wealth of experience to Anomali – both in cybersecurity and in building and scaling world-class organizations. His expertise in creating deep and meaningful relationships with customers, partners, and team members will be a tremendous asset to Anomali,” said Ahmed Rubaie, CEO. “Sean’s extensive global experience cuts across large and small, publicly traded and privately held companies along with a proven track record in the channel ecosystem. We are very excited about Sean playing a pivotal role in accelerating the next phase of the company’s explosive growth, expanding strategic partnerships, and enhancing the customer experience.”
Foster has more than two decades of experience working with customers to solve their most difficult security challenges. Most recently, Foster was CRO of IronNet, where he oversaw sales, sales engineering, services, customer success and channel, and successfully led the organization to an IPO in August of 2021. While at IronNet, he grew new business revenue 192 percent in the first year and doubled the number of customers in each of his first two years. Before IronNet, Foster served as CRO at Forcepoint, where he was responsible for sales, sales operations, sales engineering, professional services and channel.
