RedSeal Hires Key Executives to Lead Product Management and Customer Satisfaction Teams

SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2014) - RedSeal Networks, Inc., the provider of end-to-end network visibility and analytics to prevent cyber attacks, today announced that continuing in its mission to attract top-tier industry talent, the company has hired Martin Walter as the new Senior Director of Product Management, and Robert Capps as the Senior Director of Customer Success. Both are industry veterans with a rich history in their respective fields, and their appointments are designed to further propel the company's growth.

"Our goal now at RedSeal Networks is to build on the traction we've gained with key markets, and the best way to do that is to bring on board professionals who are uniquely qualified to meet evolving market needs," said Ray Rothrock, CEO of RedSeal Networks and a renowned venture capitalist who took the chief executive spot earlier this year after a decade as board chairman. "That's why we're delighted to welcome these outstanding executives to our team. Martin and Robert both have a long track record in leading the development and delivery of innovative technologies, and we're privileged that they've chosen to join the company and take our offerings to the next level."

Martin Walter has gained a sterling reputation for his extensive experience in product management, combining deep technical expertise with diverse skill sets in product marketing, and pre- and post-sales customer orientation in large enterprise environments. He was most recently Senior Product Manager at Palo Alto Networks, where he supervised User-ID, a primary component of the company's Next Generation Firewalls offering. Among other areas, he led the development of cryptography and authentication product lines, created PRDs for new features and developed field training, collateral and technology notes for new releases. Before that, he was Product Manager at PGP Corp., where he managed PGP SDKs, PGP Universal Server and PGP Key Management, working with all parts of the organization to identify new business opportunities. Earlier, he was a security consultant specializing in enterprise PKI and encryption/signature solutions, among other technologies.

"I've always been drawn to companies that focus on developing innovative technologies for specific market needs, and RedSeal Networks is clearly a leader in that field," Walter noted. "I look forward to working with this team of dedicated professionals to bring new and exciting products to market."

Robert Capps brings nearly 20 years of experience in design, management and protection of complex eCommerce systems to his new position. A recognized thought leader in his field, he comes to RedSeal Networks from his post as Senior Manager - Global Trust and Safety, at StubHub Inc. While there, he led the development of a comprehensive risk management and anti-fraud division focused on buyer and seller risk within an open and international marketplace. He also managed the design, implementation and operations of an automated transaction risk modeling, scoring and remediation system. Earlier in his career, he was Assistant VP for Retail Internet Security at Wachovia Corp., where he headed the consumer online security practice for the retail banking unit. He was previously Chief Technologist for Consumer Internet Security at World Savings Bank.

"Information and technology security is a dynamic discipline -- every day there are new threats emerging, and developing strategic defenses requires a high level of innovation, which is exactly what RedSeal offers," Capps observed. "I was previously a customer of the company, and I chose to join it because I'm truly inspired by the commitment to serving and growing the customer base with a very high level of innovation and dedication. I'm excited to get this opportunity to work with a talented team and help lead the market with unique technologies and enhanced customer satisfaction."

RedSeal Networks specializes in providing network transparency that offers a unique view of network security and enhances trust in the network infrastructure.
