“Companies are facing a fast transformation, with AI and cloud reshaping their processes and scale,” said Girard Moussa, Area Vice President, META, SentinelOne. “SentinelOne is at the forefront of change in cybersecurity, where autonomous, AI-based capabilities are needed to keep up with the speed and complexity of modern threats. I look forward to collaborating with our teams, customers, and partners to support this transition, expand our regional footprint, and deliver measurable outcomes at scale.”
Moussa held senior leadership positions at Microsoft, Google Cloud, SAP, Cisco, and Splunk.
