“Jeff and Russ bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to Semperis as we continue our growth trajectory,” said Mickey Bresman, Semperis CEO. “Day after day, organizations find themselves caught in the crosshairs of threat actors targeting security weaknesses in identity systems, including Active Directory and Entra ID, which get even further abused during successful cyberattacks. Semperis’ deep understanding of identity security, identity infrastructure, operational resilience and how it impacts an organization’s bottom line are keys to our ongoing success.”
For the past 10 years, Jeff Bray has led finance teams at cybersecurity vendors in the public and private markets, including Rapid7, Imprivata and Invicti Security, helping them grow into scalable software businesses. Bray has been involved in multiple acquisitions and has managed more than $1 billion in capital markets transactions. Previously, he was an investor in public technology companies for more than 20 years. He serves on the boards of United Way Massachusetts Bay and Old North Illuminated.

As the company’s Americas sales leader, Corallo will focus on increasing revenues and net new customers across the Americas.
