Westbrook brings extensive experience in the channel across leading cybersecurity organizations. Most recently, she served as Senior Director of Global Channel Campaigns at Fortinet, where she led partner-focused programs that scaled enablement worldwide. Prior to that, she held channel marketing roles at Barracuda Networks, where she built the North America DMR channel marketing function from the ground up.
Throughout her career, Westbrook has driven partner-led growth in competitive markets, including generating more than 50% partner-initiated revenue, increasing technical certification adoption by 200%, and launching partner communities that significantly expanded partner-led pipeline.
A recognized industry leader, she has been honored as a CRN Channel Chief and named to CRN’s Most Powerful Women of the Channel. In her new role, Westbrook will focus on scaling partner-driven growth, deepening engagement across the MSP ecosystem, and leveraging AI-driven marketing to accelerate execution.
“As Coro scales, strengthening our channel-first strategy is a core focus,” said Joe Sykora, CEO of Coro. “Lindsey understands how to align sales, marketing, and partners around shared outcomes. She will help us drive deeper partner engagement and build a more scalable go-to-market engine.”
Her appointment comes at a pivotal moment as Coro expands its channel-first strategy, introducing enhancements to its partner program, including a simplified structure, expanded discount tiers, and more flexible entry points designed to help MSPs grow revenue and scale more efficiently.
“Coro is a company where the leadership is genuinely invested in the channel, and that’s what drew me here,” said Westbrook. “Since day one, my career in cybersecurity has been built in the channel. Being channel-obsessed isn’t a tagline for me. I’ve seen how much impact the channel can have, and what it takes to stand out. Coro is doing that in a way that’s meaningfully different for partners.”
Coro’s acceleration is backed by recent industry awards, including recognition from the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for its workspace security platform, Cyber Defense Magazine’s Global InfoSec Awards, and a finalist spot for Best SME Security Solution in the SC Magazine Excellence Awards.
Members of the Coro team, including Sykora, will be on-site at the Channel Partners MSP Summit in Las Vegas from April 13-16, 2026. The company will host a session titled “Security Stack Surgery: Cutting Complexity to Maximize Your Profitability,” focused on helping MSPs reduce tool complexity, address skills gaps, and scale more efficiently.
