“Sytsma is working closely with prospects to address their most pressing challenges and ensure their long-term success.”
Sytsma is a seasoned professional with 20 years of deep domain expertise. He has held prominent roles in the industry, serving as Senior Vice President at Callsign, Chief Revenue Officer at BioCatch, and VP of Sales for the Americas at ThreatMetrix. Sytsma played a pivotal role in establishing and expanding sales at ThreatMetrix. Being the first hire, he took on the responsibility of building the financial services team from the ground up. With his guidance, the division grew, establishing strong partnerships with major banks and positioned the company as a trusted provider within the financial sector. Prior to that, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at BioCatch, where he spearheaded the development and growth of the sales team, leveraging his expertise to elevate their performance and drive impressive results.
“It’s a critical time for CISOs, CEOs, and Boards of Directors as they look to guide their companies across terrain, where tools like AI are making attackers smarter and nearly indistinguishable from legitimate consumers and enabling an onslaught of new attackers to emerge quickly,” said Sytsma. “Businesses of all sizes are at heightened risk. Security teams are outnumbered and consumers’ expectations for a frictionless digital experience continue to grow. Arkose Labs is uniquely positioned to stop attacks and enhance a company’s business operations by helping executives mitigate risks and threats while protecting revenue generating activities.”
