Welcome Our New CMO, Renata Budko

By Ivan Novikov

We have ended 2017 with an oomph — having record revenues, on-boarding new marquee Fortune 500 customers and forging new partnerships.

We are also growing our team and I would like to welcome Renata Budko joining us as our new Chief Marketing Officer.

We’re really excited to have Renata joining Wallarm–she’s a seasoned startup pro who will bring a lot to our team. We’ve been successful these last few years by focusing on building our product and earning customer traction with early adopters. Adding Renata’s technology marketing savvy will help us grow Wallarm reach and signifies our next phase.

Renata is an experienced marketing and product executive in security space. Most recently she served as a VP of Products at Winkk and was previously a co-founder of HyTrust where she lead Marketing and Product Strategy.

“After working with the team for a few months as a consultant and talking to many of Wallarm customers and partners, I am very excited how Wallarm works natively with modular application stacks and uses AI to adapt the security to the context of the protected applications and APIs.” — said Ms. Budko. “It’s like adding an AI security team member to the DevOps organizations at our customers.”
