SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 17, 2016) - Today CloudPassage announced the appointments of Tim Colby as vice president of channel sales and Dan Brigati as vice president of federal sales. Colby has 25 years of networking and security sales experience building channel programs from the ground up at companies such as Infoblox and Aruba. Brigati has 25 years of sales experience with FireEye, Aruba, Cisco and many other technology companies. Both executives will report to Executive Vice President of Sales Mark Stephenson.
"CloudPassage is one of the few security companies that is enabling the massive transformation of IT delivery models from walled data centers to cloud computing," said Robert Thomas, CEO, CloudPassage. "The timing is right to accelerate our growth with channel partners and in the federal space.

Dan has built and led sales teams that drove massive growth by working closely with federal agencies and systems integrators."
