SEATTLE, WA — (Marketwired) — 06/02/15 — announced today that Jeff Pancottine has been appointed Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, effective June 1, 2015. A veteran in the technology industry, Pancottine has a successful track record across the telecommunications, server, networking, security, and SaaS markets.
“Tempered Networks fills a big void in the market with the intensity of cyber attacks against business critical infrastructure by criminal, nation state, and hacktivists,” said Jeff Pancottine, SVP of Sales and Marketing at Tempered Networks. “Add to that, the exponential growth of inter-connected devices and systems increases an organization–s attack surface as they make their way onto IP-based networks. I see a distinct opportunity for Tempered that offers an unparalleled way to help customers securely connect and cloak high value assets and systems — at Internet scale. The timing for Tempered couldn–t be better and my priority is to build on the company–s unique value proposition and grow the business.”
Pancottine–s most recent role was Senior Vice President and General Manager of the SteelApp business unit at Riverbed Technology, recently acquired by Brocade. Previously, he was the CEO and President of Daptiv and has held senior executive roles at Juniper Networks, F5 Networks, Sun Microsystems and Cray Research. He currently sits on the board of directors for Wizmo, a SaaS hosting provider.
“Tempered–s unique approach for solving the inherent security issues with TCP/IP is carving a new market category for cyber security,” said Jeff Hussey, CEO of Tempered Networks. “With this rich and ripe opportunity, comes the need to help organizations rethink how they solve their security issues. Jeff–s deep experience and success in developing winning strategies in new markets will help position us for success.”
Pancottine holds a BS in Computer Science from University of California, Riverside and an MS in Computer Science from Cornell University.
