Tenable Network Security has expanded its executive team with two new hires, from Cisco and Tanium, who will lead the company through its next growth phase.

John Negron, most recently Cisco’s vice president of global security sales, has been appointed Tenable’s first chief revenue officer. Jennifer Johnson, formerly Tanium’s chief marketing officer, has been appointed Tenable’s first chief marketing officer.

Negron, a cybersecurity industry veteran, has more than 30 years of experience in enterprise software. At Cisco, he co-led the creation of the company’s cybersecurity business unit, where he directed more than 800 field sales professionals and engineers, and helped lead the business to more than $2 billion in annual sales.

While at Tanium, Johnson successfully positioned the company as a dominant force in cybersecurity and enterprise IT, and helped lead the company through multiple years of growth with a high valuation.{ad}

Tenable’s customers range from Fortune Global 500 companies, to the global public sector, to mid-sized enterprises in all sectors, including finance, government, health care, higher education, retail and energy.
