PRESS RELEASE: KYND makes strategic hires in US and EMEA to drive growth

Leading cyber risk management solution provider KYND has announced two strategic hires to support expansion plans as it continues to help businesses simplify complex cyber risk analysis and reduce the likelihood of cyber incidents at both the individual and portfolio levels.

Currently operating across 35 countries, KYND is accelerating growth with these key appointments. Nadji Raib has been appointed VP of Sales for EMEA while Jeff Foley joins the US team as Head of Research.

Based in the company’s London office, Nadji will be focused on identifying growth opportunities within the EMEA area, including within existing markets and expanding into new territories.

Nadji, who has spent more than 10 years working with cyber security vendors, said: “Instantly I could see the value proposition KYND offers in managing and remediating cyber risk.

“One of the reasons I’ve joined lies in their tailored approach to meeting specific customer challenges and needs. KYND seeks to ensure we truly partner with customers and become part of their processes, rather than just an added tool in their cyber security arsenal. I'm determined to lead the EMEA effort in this sense.

“I’m delighted to join KYND, working with such an incredibly talented team, representing their award-winning portfolio of solutions, and to have the opportunity to work with our many wonderful clients and partners.

“I'm truly excited about our expansion plans in EMEA, where we aim to deliver a new kind of cyber risk management enabling organisations to take a proactive and comprehensive approach to their cyber resilience.”

Across the pond in the US, Jeff Foley will work alongside the product and engineering teams to advance KYND’s delivery of leading intelligence on cyber threat exposure, while developing innovative new ways to manage risk. Jeff brings two decades of experience in applied research and development, security assessment and the protection of critical information technology and infrastructure.

He said: “I’m a firm believer in equipping organisations with the visibility and analytics tools they need to make data-driven decisions to support information security and guard against cyber risks, which are constantly changing.

“I’m excited to join KYND and look forward to the challenge of assisting a company which is already a leader in offering actionable cyber risk intelligence to extend KYND’s unique capabilities and insights and further its horizons.”

Melanie Hayes, COO and co-founder of KYND, said: “At KYND, we’re committed to bringing the best talent on board to accelerate the adoption of accurate, actionable cyber risk intelligence, helping organisations worldwide change the entrenched approach to cyber risk management and combat evolving threats.

“Jeff’s expertise in building and operationalising threat intelligence will be instrumental in shaping the next era of cyber risk management. Nadji brings a deep understanding of cyber risk, combined with effective leadership in driving global business growth, which will be invaluable as we seek to expand into new markets.”
