Cyemptive Technologies, a renowned provider of preemptive cybersecurity solutions, has recently appointed Varun Vaid as the Vice President of Cyber Solutions — Strategic Accounts. Vaid, an international business executive and cybersecurity veteran, will oversee strategic accounts and partnerships in the Americas while also serving as the regional head of Cyemptive in the Middle East.
The appointment of Vaid comes as Cyemptive continues to expand both domestically and internationally. Rob Pike, the founder and CEO of Cyemptive, expressed his confidence in Vaid’s ability to contribute to the company’s growth, stating, “Vaid’s business background in cybersecurity and cloud/SAAS in these regions, particularly in channel strategy and partnerships, will be invaluable as Cyemptive continues to scale up and expand.”
Vaid brings over 12 years of experience in consultative solution selling, business expansion, channel development, team management, alliances, and negotiations in the cybersecurity and cloud/SaaS sectors. His previous roles include positions at AIC Inc, a prominent provider of OEM/ODM and commercial off-the-shelf server and storage solutions. Vaid also played a critical role in spearheading digital transformation initiatives for major clients across enterprise and government sectors in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Expressing his commitment to cybersecurity, Vaid stated, “I’ve been working in cybersecurity my entire career, and have seen big establishments and enterprises fall due to ineffective cyber standards. Cyemptive offers a unique approach that differs from today’s solutions and has the potential to change the face of cybersecurity.”
