The hires come at an inflection point for the company. Over the past six months, Abnormal has seen a 97% increase in advanced attacks bypassing Secure Email Gateways, driven by a new class of AI-generated threats that mimic trusted communications well enough to evade traditional detection. As attacks become more sophisticated, demand for Abnormal’s Behavioral AI Platform continues to grow, and organizations are demanding solutions they can trust to protect their people and data without adding operational complexity. The company is investing in leadership to match.
Stephen Harrison joins as VP of Product, New Products. Harrison most recently served as CISO at MGM Resorts International, where he led security strategy for a global enterprise operating in one of the most targeted threat environments in the world. At Abnormal, he’ll lead the next wave of platform innovation, extending Abnormal’s core behavioral AI capabilities to protect against a wider spectrum of threats across the enterprise, giving customers a unified behavioral AI platform that grows with their security needs rather than forcing them to stitch together point solutions.
Noah Rolff joins as VP of Customer Success. Rolff led Customer Success and Services for Cortex at Palo Alto Networks, the fastest-growing product in that company’s history, and previously played key roles in category creation at Medallia and in scaling Expanse through its $800M acquisition. He will focus on accelerating time-to-value for customers, ensuring that as organizations expand their use of the Abnormal Platform, they have the expert guidance and support infrastructure to realize measurable security outcomes at every stage.
John Slavitt joins as Chief Legal Officer. Slavitt spent over two decades as General Counsel of Check Point Software, where he built the legal infrastructure for a $2B+ public cybersecurity company. Most recently, as CLO at Gong, he architected their AI compliance framework during a period of rapid growth. His experience at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI governance, and enterprise scale positions him to strengthen the trust, transparency, and compliance frameworks customers need as they deploy Abnormal’s behavioral AI across their most sensitive systems.
“To become the defining company in our space, every priority must enable us to move faster than the market,” said Evan Reiser, CEO of Abnormal AI. “That speed comes from having the right leaders in place: people who can accelerate product innovation, remove friction as we scale, and help our customers get more value, faster, and with greater confidence. Stephen, Noah, and John each bring exactly that.”
