ENDACE APPOINTS LEN WEINSTEIN AS VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES
FOR CYBER SECURITY PRODUCT LINE
Proven Industry Veteran to Help Grow Cyber Security Monitoring Business
Endace (LSE: EDA), world leaders in high-speed packet capture and analysis solutions, today announced the appointment of Len Weinstein as Vice President of Sales, Cyber Security. In this newly created role, Mr. Weinstein will lead the dedicated IT security sales operations at Endace and will report directly to Rick Truitt, General Manager, U.S.
"Len is extremely well respected at the CSO level and with Endace continuing to gain traction in the cyber security monitoring space, he is joining at just the right time," said Mike Riley, CEO of Endace. "By hiring Len we're building more depth into our Cyber Security practice and we look forward to benefiting from Len's leadership and extensive experience in the security field."
Mr. Weinstein joins Endace from network security software provider Check Point Software Technologies, where he served as Head of Service Provider Sales for the Americas. Weinstein became a part of the Check Point team in 2007 via the $680 million acquisition of Pointsec Mobile Technologies, where he held the role of Vice President of Sales. During his tenure at Pointsec, Weinstein helped grow company sales from $4 million in 2005 to $68 million in 2007, leading to the Check Point acquisition. He played an integral role at Pointsec from the "start-up" stage through proliferated growth and through the successful sale and integration at Check Point. Prior to Pointsec, Weinstein was the Sales Director at Sygate Technologies, who was purchased by Symantec in 2005.
Speaking of his experience working with Len Weinstein, Larry Glassman, former CISO of Fortune 500 industrial supply company W.W. Grainger comments, "I have had the pleasure of working with Len on two different occasions, leading to two different seven-figure enterprise security technology implementations. In both instances, Len led his teams from the RFP process through the sale. What is unique about Len is that he continued to participate in the implementation of these critical technologies until the product was successfully deployed. My experience has been that once the sale is done, the sales person does a 'hand-off' and you never hear from them again. This was not the case with Len. Endace is very fortunate to have landed such a consummate professional. I would be absolutely comfortable working with Len again in this capacity."
"This is a really exciting time to be joining Endace, as the company has a powerful and compelling vision for the future of cyber security monitoring and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to take that vision out into the market place," said Weinstein. "Unlike many organizations that only have a vision, Endace has real product that consistently outperforms its competitors and as a sales person that's an extremely powerful story to be able to tell."
Mr. Weinstein graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in Communications with an emphasis on Business Administration.
