“Casey’s expertise as a sales professional and deep knowledge of high-growth start-up environments will be invaluable to our North American sales team,” said Mike Baukes, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of UpGuard. “At UpGuard, we’re committed to developing cybersecurity solutions that enable our customers to better protect their data. With his years of experience in the customer success technology industry, Casey knows firsthand how to partner with customers to meet their individual needs.”

“Cybersecurity has always been on my radar,” said Casey Altieri, VP of Sales, North America. “The right opportunity had never come up, but UpGuard was different. UpGuard is all about cybersecurity but with a strong SaaS backing. Many technology companies are really only good at one or the other but UpGuard excels in both areas so I knew I had to join.”
