Industry veteran and former CrowdStrike sales leader to boost revenue streams and meet growing demand for the Resilience Solution
Resilience, the leading cyber risk solutions company, today named industry leader and former CrowdStrike executive Matthew Polly as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). He will work across Resilience’s executive and senior leadership team to align, integrate, and scale the company’s revenue-generating functions. As Resilience’s primary revenue strategist, Polly will help accelerate all existing and future revenue streams.
The addition of Polly as CRO comes as Resilience continues to scale its team to meet demand for its core offering: the most effective cyber loss prevention solution on the market. A veteran sales leader, Polly brings more than two decades of experience to his position at Resilience. Most recently, he held the title of Vice President of Sales at CrowdStrike, where he helped accelerate the adoption of the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform and grow the company’s extensive network of enterprise partnerships.
“Resilience was founded on a simple principle: we need to enable and empower cyber leaders to make better business decisions and treat cyber as both a technical and a financial risk,” said Vishaal “V8” Hariprasad, CEO and Co-Founder of Resilience. “Bringing on a tenured leader like Matthew Polly is critical to accomplish this mission. With a proven track record leading CrowdStrike’s efforts to reimagine endpoint protection, he understands how to shape strategy to accelerate the adoption of an innovative solution like ours. He will play a key role in helping us meet the demand for our cyber risk solution as more enterprises seek ways to understand their risk in an increasingly complex and connected ecosystem.”
This appointment adds to a growing senior leadership team at Resilience. The company recently made several other strategic hires, including naming Rebecca Jones as Senior Vice President of Engineering and Jeremy Gittler as Global Head of Claims as well as the promotion of Killian Brady to Chief Underwriting Officer. These additions follow a year of sustained growth and come at a time when the company has achieved an industry-leading loss ratio, recognizing Resilience’s unique approach and success in mitigating material loss from costly cyber incidents for its clients.
About his new role, Polly said: “The cybersecurity landscape is changing rapidly as cybersecurity leaders and their boards realize it is insufficient to invest in controls. They must prioritize strategies to stay ahead of threat actors and prevent financial loss against growing pressure to show a return for every dollar spent. Resilience— and its unique approach to integrating market-leading cyber insurance into an innovative risk management and security solution— is primed to help customers solve this complex calculus. I’m excited by the opportunity.”
