PHOENIX, May 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bishop Fox, the largest private offensive security testing firm, today announced the appointment of Julie Albright as the company’s chief marketing officer (CMO). Albright brings more than 20 years of marketing experience with a proven track record for meeting aggressive growth targets, evolving marketing organizations into revenue generators, and building strong and engaging brands. She reports to Vinnie Liu, Bishop Fox’s chief executive officer (CEO).

“Julie brings a wealth of cybersecurity and broader B2B tech experience and has built a strong reputation for taking high-growth organizations to the next level of success,” said Liu. “Combining our Continuous Attack Surface Testing (CAST) platform with the unmatched security talent on the Bishop Fox team presents a huge opportunity to scale our offensive security testing solutions and deliver unique value to the market at large – at a moment when security has never been more important.

Additionally, she spent almost a decade consulting for Insight Partners, a leading global venture capital and private equity firm that invests in high-growth technology companies. While there, she worked with companies across the Insight portfolio to develop and execute marketing strategy and helped build Insight’s marketing center of excellence. She also spent almost ten years building her own marketing consultancy, collectively working with dozens of growth-stage companies, including AlienVault (acquired by AT&T), Asana, Syncsort (now Precisely), E2open, Fenergo, Campaign Monitor, Kinnser (now Wellsky), Elsewhere Partners, and many more.
