Prior to Tanium, Pick had a 9-year tenure as Chief Marketing Officer at Apptio, a company that led the “Technology Business Management” category in enterprise technology that it helped define. Pick most recently served as Chief Marketing Officer at Tanium, a cybersecurity company most recently valued at more than $9 billion in public materials. We are on a mission to upgrade the security and online experiences of millions, and soon to be billions, of people by moving past passwords.” “Chris has differentiated experience tackling huge, intractable problems in technology, and his marketing strategies are innovative and impactful to large enterprises. “This year we are making very significant moves as a company, because we are disrupting the status quo that has dominated a critical area of technology for decades,” said Rakesh Loonkar, President and Co-Founder, Transmit Security.

As security threats multiply, the stakes are higher given the volume and sensitivity of personal information exchanged online. The pandemic forced millions of people to rely on a wider range of vital technologies to manage their lives online, from appointments with doctors and therapists, to buying food and goods, to managing personal finances. The appointment of Pick reflects a massive market opportunity. Today more than 115 million people use technology developed by Transmit Security for its enterprise customers in finance, retail and other large industries. The company has multiple patents related to biometric authentication and security, developed by the world’s leading engineering talent. Transmit Security also recently raised $543 million in funding, the largest-ever Series A round in cybersecurity history. This news builds on recent momentum in the company, including another C-suite appointment last month of Chris Kaddaras as Chief Revenue Officer. Pick will build and oversee a multinational marketing function, and execute a strategy to create an entirely new category in cybersecurity, leveraging his experience at Apptio and Tanium where he helped lead those companies to redefine their own market categories.
