This strategic move aims to enhance the company’s sales, business development, and global partnerships, with Chronert directly reporting to President Katie Bullard. He succeeds Dennis Hon, who is retiring after nearly three years with the company but will remain as an advisor through the end of the year.
With nearly 20 years of experience in the cybersecurity sector, Chronert is known for his impressive history of driving substantial growth within organizations. Prior to joining Red Canary, he served as CRO at Recorded Future, the leading threat intelligence company, where he led efforts that resulted in a threefold increase in annual recurring revenue to over $300 million. Chronert’s extensive background also includes leadership roles at other notable cybersecurity firms such as RSA, Secureworks, and Absolute Software.
Katie Bullard expressed confidence in Chronert’s abilities, stating, “His experience in leading global revenue teams and executing with operational rigor will be invaluable to Red Canary as we continue to grow and scale.” Chronert himself expressed enthusiasm about joining Red Canary, recognizing the company as a pioneer in MDR with a solid reputation among customers and partners.
Red Canary is dedicated to securing organizations from threats regardless of their size or industry. With a focus on early detection and response, the company serves as a cornerstone security partner for nearly 1,000 organizations, offering a high level of threat accuracy and customer service across various platforms.
This leadership transition comes at a time when cybersecurity is more critical than ever, as organizations face evolving threats. With Chronert at the helm of revenue operations, Red Canary is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and strengthen its influence in the cybersecurity landscape, ultimately enhancing the protection it provides to its clients.
This appointment represents a hopeful chapter for Red Canary, as the combination of Chronert’s expertise and the company’s strong foundation can lead to further innovations and advancements in threat detection and response strategies.
