SIEM outfit Exabeam has announced the appointment of Charlie Howe as its new VP EMEA.

Previous roles include EMEA Sales Director at Silvertail Systems – acquired by RSA – head of Encryption Sales EMEA at Symantec and head of EMEA Enterprise Sales at PGP Corporation. All told, Charlie brings over 20 years of experience in the IT industry and has helped establish and scale a number of security start-ups in EMEA.
Exabeam has been having a good year with shedloads of growth. Exabeam saw 250 percent market growth in 2017, coming off 300 percent growth in 2016. The company is on track to more than double its market size in 2018.

In addition to its offices in the UK and Germany, Exabeam expanded its presence with a new team in the Benelux region, and tripled its EMEA employee count.
