Singapore – ExtraHop, a cloud-native network detection and response (NDR) firm, has recently announced the appointment of Rob Greer as its new chief executive officer. This new role enables Greer to lead the company through its next phase of growth.
Building on the success of the company in 2024, Greer will work alongside Greg Clark, who will assume the position of executive chairman on the ExtraHop Board of Directors and will remain actively involved in guiding customers, partners, and strategic initiatives.
Greer boasts an extensive three-decade experience successfully developing scalable businesses, driving profitable go-to-market strategies, and leading product innovation.
Throughout his career, Greer has held leadership positions at renowned network security companies such as HP Tipping Point, Forescout Technologies, Blue Coat Systems, and SonicWALL, where he worked with some of the world’s largest enterprises.
Most recently, he served as general manager of Broadcom’s Enterprise Security Group Division, where he led the integration of Symantec and Carbon Black. Before that, he was instrumental in Forescout Technologies’ successful IPO in 2017.
Greer is also an operating partner at Crosspoint Capital Partners.
Commenting about the initiative, Greg Clark, executive chairman at ExtraHop and managing partner at Crosspoint Capital Partners, said, “ExtraHop achieved tremendous success in the last year, growing our customer base, disrupting the market with industry-leading innovations, and receiving prestigious analyst recognition and awards.”
“ExtraHop is well-positioned to accelerate its roadmap as more organisations realise the power of the RevealXTM NDR platform and its ability to solve many of their security challenges. Rob’s deep expertise and relationships across the industry will prove instrumental as we further expand our market share,” he added.
Meanwhile, Greer, further shared, “The ExtraHop team has laid an incredible foundation in the NDR market, garnering a loyal customer base and revolutionising how enterprises approach cybersecurity and risk management with the most in-depth network telemetry.”
“We’ve now entered a new phase of growth that will empower us to reach even more customers across the globe with a robust platform that supports all of their network-centric detection and response needs, and together we will reach new heights,” shared Greer.
