Secure.com Names Cybersecurity Veteran Nicholette Brown Hill as Founding General Manager, Americas

Seasoned executive brings more than two decades of experience in strategic growth, partnerships, and go-to-market leadership to AI-native security startup

AUSTIN, Texas & DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Secure.com today announced that Nicholette Brown Hill has been named Founding General Manager, Americas and Head of Sales for Global Strategic Markets. The newly created executive role reflects the company’s push to accelerate growth and customer acquisition across North and South America as it expands its AI-native cybersecurity platform globally.

In her new role, Nicholette will oversee Secure.com’s growth strategy across the Americas while leading sales efforts for global strategic markets. She will focus on expanding customer acquisition, developing channel and alliance partnerships, and strengthening Secure.com’s position as a leader in cybersecurity risk visibility and continuous security validation.

Nicholette joins Secure.com with more than 20 years of experience leading sales organizations, strategic partnerships, corporate development, and go-to-market strategy across the cybersecurity, cloud, and enterprise technology sectors. Most recently, she served as Chief Strategy Officer at GUARDDOG.AI, where she led market expansion and built partnerships advancing AI-driven cybersecurity adoption.

Prior to GUARDDOG.AI, Nicholette held several executive leadership roles at Meriplex, including Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategic Alliances and Vice President of Sales and Channel. During her tenure, she drove brand development, built strategic partnerships, and executed growth strategies. She also supported the company’s successful recapitalization by Vitruvian Partners.

Her experience also includes executive sales roles at VMware and Rackspace, where she consistently delivered growth across enterprise, cloud, networking, and security markets.

"Nicholette brings a rare combination of deep experience working at some of the industry's biggest brands paired with a proven ability to scale startups," said Uzair Gadit, Founding Partner of Disrupt.com and CEO of Secure.com. "That range makes her one of the most accomplished growth leaders in cybersecurity and enterprise technology today. Her ability to build high-performing organizations, forge transformative partnerships, and execute winning go-to-market strategies makes her the ideal leader for this next phase of Secure.com's growth. We're thrilled to welcome her to the team and excited for the impact she'll have as we expand our global footprint and help organizations better understand and reduce cyber risk."

"I'm joining Secure.com at a moment that really matters for this industry," said Nicholette. "Security teams are drowning in alerts, stretched thin on headcount, and stuck doing repetitive work that burns analysts out. Meanwhile, attackers are using AI to move faster and hit harder than ever. That's not a fight security teams can win by just working longer hours. Secure.com changes the math. Our AI Teammates handle the core Blue Team work - SOC, Cloud Security, AppSec, GRC - while a Red Teammate keeps testing those defenses like a real attacker would. Put them together and you get a purple loop: what the Red Teammate finds gets fixed automatically, so the whole system gets stronger over time. That means security teams get relief right away, and they catch the risks before an AI-powered attacker finds them first. I'm looking forward to building this with our team, our partners, and our customers."

Nicholette is expected to attend Black Hat USA in Las Vegas, August 3-5, where she will be available to meet with press, partners, and customers.

The appointment comes as Secure.com continues to expand its portfolio of cybersecurity risk management solutions designed to help organizations proactively identify vulnerabilities, assess exposure, and continuously improve resilience against evolving cyber threats.
