SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB) August 22, 2018 -- SiteLock, the global leader in website security solutions, today announced the appointment of Tom Heiser to its board of directors. A seasoned technology leader and former EVP of EMC Corporation, Heiser will serve as executive chairman of the board.

During his 30-year tenure at EMC Corporation, Heiser held key senior executive roles across the organization, including EVP of cloud strategy and execution. He has also served as president of RSA Security, CEO of ClickSoftware and interim CEO for Arxan. He currently sits on the board of directors for multiple technology companies, including Arxan and AtScale, and formerly sat on the board of directors for CyberArk.

“Tom brings an unparalleled level of sales, marketing and executive leadership experience to the table,” said Neill Feather, CEO of SiteLock. “Tom’s ability to grow companies, ranging from startups to complex multinational businesses, makes him a natural fit for our growing SiteLock team.”

Heiser’s appointment is a strategic next step for SiteLock following its acquisition by ABRY Partners ("ABRY") earlier this year. SiteLock continues to engage seasoned expertise to reach the next level as a leading website security provider. Heiser will accelerate SiteLock’s product innovation with his go-to-market experience and customer-centric focus.

“SiteLock’s mission to secure every website is an ambitious one, but we are primed for the challenge,” said Heiser. “The company has developed a comprehensive solution to the growing threat of malware, and I’m excited to chair the board at this pivotal moment of company growth.“

This appointment dovetails with additional strategic hires for the Scottsdale-based company. The following executives and leaders will work alongside Feather, Heiser and the larger executive team.
