Barracuda snaps up Billante

Barracuda Networks has appointed Joe Billante as its new chief financial officer after half-inching him from eBay.

Billante has been at eBay for 13 years in several businesses, finance, and analytics executive leadership roles.

Before this Billante spent 11 years at General Electric in several finance roles, including CFO for a $1bn international division of GE Healthcare.

Barracuda CEO Hatem Naguib said: “We are excited to have Joe on our team, with his deep expertise in business strategy, financial integrity, stakeholder engagement, and operational excellence.”

Billante said: “I am very proud to join the Barracuda team and excited for the business opportunities ahead. I am thrilled to be part of this important mission and look forward to getting to know and working with our customers, partners, employees and stakeholders.”

Barracuda appointed former AvePoint SVP Jason Beal as its new vice president of worldwide partner ecosystems last month.
