Sytsma brings more than 20 years of experience in the software and security industry to his new role. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Americas Sales, Financial Services at ThreatMetrix. Over his six-year tenure there, he established the company’s financial services vertical, then assumed responsibility for its Americas sales organization. Earlier, Sytsma had been Head of Global Sales for the Software Group at Emulex, a provider of connectivity, monitoring and management solutions for high-performance networks. He also held senior sales roles at software companies including iPass, Aveksa, Lumigent Technologies and EMC.
