Adlumin appoints Vikram Ramesh as new Chief Marketing Officer

Thu, 1st Aug 2024

Adlumin has announced the appointment of Vikram Ramesh as its new Chief Marketing Officer. Ramesh, who brings more than two decades of experience in marketing leadership roles at firms including Google, Mandiant, and Entrust, will oversee global marketing initiatives at Adlumin during a period of rapid growth for the company.

Before joining Adlumin, Ramesh served as Head of Global Marketing at Google Cloud Security. In this role, he spearheaded the development of the Google Security brand and oversaw revenue marketing across a portfolio of multi-cloud security products. His extensive experience extends to his time at Mandiant, where he built the global marketing organisation from the ground up and evolved the company's brand, messaging, and go-to-market strategies. His efforts at Mandiant significantly contributed to the company's USD $5.4 billion acquisition by Google.

Commenting on the current cybersecurity landscape, Ramesh said, "Today's cyber attackers target organisations of all sizes with advanced tactics. While large enterprises have extensive security resources, smaller companies often struggle with limited budgets and expertise. This highlights the need to democratise cybersecurity, ensuring robust protection for all. Our cloud-native security operations platform enables collaboration between internal teams and managed service providers, delivering enterprise-grade cybersecurity to businesses of all sizes and levelling the playing field. This vision drew me to Adlumin, and I'm excited to continue to grow our brand and global presence."

In his earlier career, Ramesh held roles in product and marketing at Riverbed Technology, Symantec, Hewlett Packard, and other notable organisations. He was also Vice President of Digital Marketing and Operations at Entrust, where he led comprehensive digital strategies encompassing brand management, analytics, marketing operations, and demand generation.

Adlumin's Co-founder and CEO, Robert Johnston, expressed his confidence in Ramesh's ability to elevate the company's brand. "Vikram is a proven marketing leader at both high-growth companies and some of the world's most established brands. He is exactly the marketing leader we need to help elevate our brand with partners and customers as we expand globally. Organisations of all sizes and in all geographies are recognising the need for a comprehensive security operations platform, and we're hitting an inflection point in our growth by working with channel partners to meet those needs. Vikram is the perfect person to steward our brand through this next chapter."

Ramesh holds a master's degree in Computer Engineering from Wayne State University and a bachelor's degree in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering from Annamalai University.
