Gerard Kerrigan has been appointed sales and marketing manager at Signify, vendor of secure two-factor authentication hosted services. Kerrigan, who brings with him experience from companies such as Integralis and IronPort, will be focusing on developing Signify’s partner channel to deliver 2FA hosted services and strengthening the company’s position in the SaaS market.
Kerrigan built up a channel from scratch at US start up IronPort, taking revenues from zero to several million pounds in just two years and also worked for Integralis, supporting field sales teams and channel partners in the promotion of its Security Managed Services business. Before joining Signify, Kerrigan was sales director at SecureTest, growing revenues by more than 100 percent and was chosen to lead the combined services team after the acquisition by NCC Group. He also grew the revenues of NASA spin-off Rainfinity by over 100 percent and was appointed MD for Europe.
“We are delighted to welcome Gerard on board,” says Dave Abraham, CEO at Signify. “His extensive experience in the security market and working with the UK channel will be invaluable as we further develop our reseller network. With the growth in remote and home working, the demand for strong two-factor authentication to replace basic passwords to access computer systems and sensitive data is a major priority.”
“Avoiding up-front capital investment and provide rapid ROI for customers is a compelling proposition for resellers and allows them to take advantage of the growing 2FA market without the need to deploy and support complex hardware and software systems,” adds Kerrigan.
