Halcyon Bolsters Channel and Sales Teams with High-Profile Hires

Industry Veterans Chris Catanzaro and David French Join Anti-Ransomware Disruptor to Boost Sales and Channel Growth

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Halcyon, the leading platform designed from day one to defeat ransomware, today announced that former SentinelOne channel leader Chris Catanzaro has joined the company as Worldwide VP of Channel & MSSP along with former Apiiro CRO David French as VP of Sales. The two industry veterans will be critical drivers enabling Halcyon to expand its channel business, grow sales, and maintain its hyper-growth trajectory.

“Halcyon is growing rapidly, and we are adding key resources to maintain our pace,” said Jon Miller, CEO and Co-founder, Halcyon. “Chris and David bring a wealth of industry knowledge and experience to the table which will be invaluable as we continue to expand our ability to execute. We are pleased to have them on the team and are glad so many notable industry veterans have been attracted to the game-changing work we’re doing here at Halcyon.”

Chris Catanzaro joins Halcyon from SentinelOne where he was a driving force behind a robust channel business, managing a global network of MSSPs to deliver best-in-class endpoint protection and maintain the company’s position in the endpoint space. Catanzaro brings over 25 years of experience developing and executing channel strategies and nurturing partner ecosystems to Halcyon. His career also includes successful stints at Recorded Future, RSA, Digital Shadows and HPE.

“The Halcyon focus on ransomware fills a significant market gap that is not adequately addressed by either endpoint providers or anyone else,” said Catanzaro. “I am excited to bring this unique offering to the channel and empower our partners with this unmatched service. Halcyon is already proving to be a disruptive force in the cybersecurity space, and I look forward to expanding our partner ecosystem and growing the business.”

David French’s 20-year career includes roles at Qualys, Transmit Security, and Kenna Security. A seasoned sales leader, French has been integral to developing go-to-market strategies and establishing strategic partnerships, having repeatedly helped drive several sales organizations from early-stage to market leading organizations. French joins Halcyon after playing a pivotal role as CRO at Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) provider Apiiro.

“Ransomware is the number one concern for business leaders today and Halcyon is the only solution designed specifically to address it,” said French. “I look forward to growing the company footprint and bringing this transformational solution to life for more customers. There is a massive market opportunity ahead for the company and I am excited to help Halcyon capitalize.”
