Cybersecurity company Alert Logic has promoted CFO John Post to CEO as the former boss of the company bob Lyons is departing to pursue new opportunities.
Current vice president of finance Jon Sachs will take up the role of CFO.
“Alert Logic has a strong team, an industry-leading MDR platform, and exceptional traction in the MDR market,” said Post. “As CEO, I look forward to driving continued global expansion and delivering the most effective, affordable, and scalable solution for reducing the likelihood and impact of cybersecurity attacks.”
Post joined Alert Logic as CFO in 2020, having previously held the role of CFO and subsequently general manager of Webroot and most recently COO of Carbonite, following Carbonite’s acquisition of Webroot in 2019.
“With its proven global managed detection and response leadership position and John’s track record of leading and scaling SaaS companies in the cybersecurity industry, Alert Logic is poised to be the de facto standard for organizations seeking an MDR provider,” said Michael Donovan, general partner of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, Alert Logic’s majority shareholder.
