Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group, has appointed Jacques Boschung as senior VP & general manager for EMEA.
He succeeds Philippe Borloz, who retired after almost five years of successfully developing the business across EMEA.
Boschung will be responsible for driving growth for Kudelski Security in Europe, managing the company’s business strategy and the relationships with high-profile clients. As part of its continued European expansion, Kudelski Security recently announced for instance the launch of a new Cyber Fusion Centre (CFC) in Madrid as well as the opening of a new office in Zürich.
Boschung brings more than 25 years of experience in leading large-scale technology organisations in EMEA as well as in the US.
Commenting on the appointment, Andrew Howard, CEO of Kudelski Security, said: “We are happy to welcome Jacques to our team.
“With his strong track record in developing sales and leading large-scale technology organisations, he brings us the skills to address our rapid development in Europe and meet the rising customer demand”.
Prior to joining Kudelski Security, Boschung worked for Inovalon, where he was president and general manager of their Payer Business, a portfolio of cloud-based SaaS solutions for large US health insurance companies. In this role, he was responsible for the management, product portfolio, delivery, operations, sales, client success, and overall performance of what is the largest segment of Inovalon’s business.
Prior to Inovalon, he served in several executive roles within Dell Technologies from 2004 through 2018, most recently serving as senior VP responsible for Dell Technologies Global Alliances and the $1.4 billion business of Dell EMC’s telco partnerships within the EMEA regions. He also worked for Hewlett Packard and IBM.
Boschung added: “I look forward to joining the team and helping pursue our growth in Europe.
“With rising cyber threats, the European cybersecurity market continues to grow. Kudelski Security, notably with its unique and tailored-made approach to Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and a powerful portfolio of advisory services, is perfectly positioned to address the rising customer demand”.
