Prior to ArmorCode, Feigin was the Chief Communications and Brand Officer at Sumo Logic, a leader in big data analytics, security and observability. During his time at Sumo Logic, Feigin helped grow the company from $10 million in revenue with 100 employees through IPO to more than $300 million in revenue with over 1,000 employees. Prior to Sumo Logic, Feigin was the Head of Marketing and Communication in the Networking and Security division of VMware where he introduced VMware NSX, a network virtualization platform, and helped grow the platform from several million to several hundred m************** in revenue in under three years.
“Aaron brings leadership, vision and a proven track record for helping technology innovators define new market categories and break away from the status quo,” said ArmorCode CEO Nikhil Gupta. “That is what we are doing at ArmorCode. With software delivery moving at record speeds, and new challenges and opportunities brought about by Generative AI, the pressure on CISOs, security teams and developers is overwhelming. With our unified ASPM platform, ArmorCode makes it possible for companies of any size to better manage this chaos, unifying and prioritizing findings across their broad portfolio of security tools while quickly understanding their business risk at any moment in time.”
In addition to Feigin, ArmorCode recently appointed several other industry leaders in late 2023 to further accelerate growth and serve more customers:
