Froehling comes to Devo with a highly-esteemed resume, working across large-scale and pre-IPO enterprises to accelerate revenue growth. He most recently served as Executive Vice President, Head of Sales at Brightcove, where he ran $220 million in sales globally. Before that, Froehling was Vice President of Sales at CA Technologies, overseeing product sales for DevOps, Agile, and Cybersecurity solutions.
“Backed by incredible investment partners, a talented team and unparalleled technology, Devo has created a security analytics platform that addresses customers’ needs and arms security leaders to take confident action to protect their business,” said Froehling. “As we head into 2023, I’m looking forward to working with the leadership team to empower even more enterprises to optimize and re-calibrate their approach to security with Devo as their trusted and favored partner.”
Froehling’s hiring is on the heels of an impressive fiscal year for Devo.
